Topband: Welded Wire Mesh

I'm looking at 2-in x 2-in galvanized welded wire mesh as a ground 
screen alternative.  Because it's a lot less dense (and has a lot less 
steel) than 1/2-in square hardware cloth, it's a lot less expensive.  
Typically under $40 for 50 ft x 4 ft.

Severns guidelines for mesh density suggests that this is more than 
adequate. Four rolls of that arrayed radially would be an awfully good 
radial system.  The question is, does anyone have experience with how 
well something like this would hold up?
