French term or phrase: bas volets

I have a table of threat-deterrent measures, including:

Mise en place de bas volets sur la clôture du site

I've found this in French illustrating "bas volets":

and this:

and this in English illustrating "V-mesh":

I know "bas volet" has been entered in Kudoz as "tab", but this seems very unlikely.

"Bent top" seems to be a fairly widely used non-technical term. I believe the proper technical term, at least in the UK, is "cranked top". There may be a different terms used elsewhere. So, the term you select really depends upon the intended audience for your document.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Yes, thanks again BD. Looks as though this is the preferred term if the number of companies using it is a guide. I'll keep this open for another day - I was too hasty in closing.
