1. A method of creating an enhanced security fence having at least one secure side impervious to disassembly of the fence, including the steps of:
opening a plurality of post holes in a surface;
providing a plurality of posts;
placing the plurality of posts into the plurality of post holes;
anchoring the plurality of posts in the plurality of post holes;
providing a plurality of prefabricated sections slideable together to form a frictionally fitted perimeter, each section comprising:
at least one generally rectangular mesh panel having a top, a bottom, a left side and a right side;
a first structural side member and a second structural side member;
at least two first structural cross members and a second cross member configured, with at least one cross member being adjacent to the top of the mesh panel and at least one cross member being adjacent to the bottom of the mesh panel, to hold the at least one mesh panel therebetween;
the first structural side member and second structural side member each being affixed to the structural cross-members to together form a frame holding the mesh panel therein, the structural side members each having a cooperative engagement flange for slideable engagement of one of the plurality of prefabricated sections with another;
slideably attaching, by at least a friction fit, each of adjacent prefabricated sections together at the cooperative engagement flanges such that the prefabricated sections are snugly fit together and so that adjacent prefabricated sections, when received by the plurality of posts, cannot move laterally relative to one another, forming together a barrier wall, and
attaching one or more of the plurality of prefabricated sections to the plurality of posts to form a fence at the perimeter.
