The standard 4x4" or 8x8 mesh is for 3 or 4" thick slabs. For thin slab
reinforcement I've used expanded 9 ga steel from McNichols with 3/4"
openings. Small aggregate is used. You never want to try to demo this
stuff. I used hot dip galvanized since the slab would likely be wet.

OTOH, I like the "relax, have a beer, work DX solution" The JA's won't
see it.
