It was not anchored to the ground that I could see. Without some kind of foundation it’s not going to be meant to resist someone really trying to breach it but I’m sure they’ve never thought it could. It will be a barrier to people and allow people inside the fence time to react if things start getting out of control.

Hopefully, it has plenty of cameras in it. Klaralven Sep 2021 #17

I've seen it several times, and it looked plenty strong and well anchored to me. Treefrog Sep 2021 #18
