At 6'2" (and 58yo) I can easily get over my 6' fence, albeit it's a bit huffy, puffy and not pretty, so younger fitter crims wouldn't struggle in any way, but with that fence I'd just climb using the bearers on the LH side.

But the carpet gripper on the inside stings when you first grab 2 handfuls

Only if you have bare hands, I'd not want to leave fingerprints never mind DNA

I remember the good old days when people used to cement broken bottles on top of garden walls.
Still got over them to get a ball back and nick some pop...

And if you got caught in the garden a good hiding..scrumping had its risks.

@neil_merseyside it's a deterrent and there's a CCTV camera looking straight at you as you approach, and a pir light to show scrote the way

We've been having petty crime spikes ,garden furniture theft ect.
We had a 3' picket fence and gates so a little better as it will require a bit more effort to nick a bench or table ,and more importantly it gives residents and night staff a bit more piece of mind.

Sort off

Levo-Lon,
Those gates need diagonal braces fitted otherwise they will sag so they won't shut properly and the bolt holes won't line up.

They have 6" screws in the braces.
And screwed boards. Plus nails.
Also the hinge braces are full width s can't say.
I may Z bar but I think they will be fine.
