Realism in lego airport vehicles

I am amazed that when I've flown, I've seen airport service vehicles that lego has created that look the same.  Here are examples:

Unsure if this is a regular post or a post about fences and their posts...

 I love looking at the box art that comes with lego sets.

Alright, I'm on the fence about this topic.  I want to make an airport but I need a fence to save the perimeter.  One frustration I have is how to make or get enough pieces of sections of fencing and how to make the post parts.  On the box art there are many fences illustrated but none of them are available for purchase.  Here are examples

Below pic From lego city undercover part 6 gameplay walkthrough by tetraninja.  Nice heavy fence with sturdy posts and top of fence lined with. Metal rails.

Fence below is good but I don't like the chain link fence extending above the top rail
From tetraninja Lego city undercover gameplay part 7, from you tube


The most detailed fence I could find Was this set with a train...the fence even shows worn down features....this is one of the most detailed picture by far



Still, different types of fence are found in lego box art


Regarding the 2 pics above:why 2 vs 1 fence posts?
Above: again I say Unsure why there are 2 fence posts vs. 1


Here's another type of fence
Below chevrons in the fence




The fence below isn't very secure for the lego airport, there's a missing part!!!


Below is another pic of a strange fence of varying heights which may just be relection of panels saying 01 and 02?




Above is another fence with heavy posts...good airfield protection!

So fencing for lego is only on box art as the 2 pieces that would be great are below

In light gray this would be perfect for a fence

Also, this piece is neat 

But this grate piece is rare and expensive 
I did find someone who did use this idea, source is in Russian on you tube



I do like the Jurassic park type fence, but too zoo-like and people could slip through as an airport could not have an electric fence
I always thought if this piece could be elaborated on, it could work but it's too "pretty" vs functional.


So, I'm hoping lego would look at these non lego, foreign samples from aliexpress and google shopping
This would be perfect fencing...pic above and below




O scale fence above...pricey for length sold



The above pic is nice but the barbed wire needs to be on top vs to the side


My final idea is when I bought screen repair mesh and figure out how to secure to legos....



More chevrons in the fence


Last 2 pics above...what is the red, looks more like an exit sign or runway marker???

Good fence from legos new plane
Lego started making great road pieces...now they need to do fences!!

Is there a department of de-fence ha ha
