Kingston,Mi
10 Gauge wire mesh on at 6 inches by 6 inches is nothing more than a handle to throw broken concrete when it gets torn out. I have supervised the use and installation of 10's 0f thoushands cubic yards of "urban riprap" for conservation practices and wire mesh has sand on one surface and concrete on the other. Pulling up wire mesh while standing on it is quite a feat of antigravity.

1/4 inch welded wire panel on chairs would be different and more likely to remain in place if enough chairs are used and properly sized and spaced rerod would be best.

Without a firm compacted base, all will fail to some extent.

Roll wire(wire mesh) does, however, make nice cages around trees during establishment.
