Yes, I have used rolls of it to reinforce some concrete slabs I have poured. Saved me lots of money not having to buy the mesh.
+1 If you know folks that maintain baseball fields - you could fix them right up.Well - cut a chunk - put a header 2x4 across the top - attach a rope bridle to the 2x4 - makes a fine drag harrow. Lots of dust but does a fine job of breaking clods and final smoothing. That will use about six feet of the roll.
If that's a concern youw can always wire in enough rebar to stabilize it. I had to use a little when I poured my slab to keep the mesh from sagging, otherwise it would have just laid on the ground under the concrete.If the cement cracked and started to move, wouldn't the concrete move more as the chain moved and not stay together?

That seems like a terrible idea unless you’re just pouring a sidewalk or something and don’t care about the cracking.
After many years, my solution was to roll it up real tight, tie tight with rope and set down by the road. It was gone in a day and is now someone else's problem. Maybe there's a better idea but I haven't found one.
If that doesn't work fast enough, put up a "For Sale" sign with a price listed when setting the roll by the road. It will be sure to disappear overnight.
