It's clearly a bitch to get flat enough to keep your hoses where you want
them, and dobies don't do much of a job of keeping it at the right height.
I decided that if I was going to spend the money, I may as well get the
benefit of the stronger support. No regrets, aside from it taking a lot of
time to tie the intersections.

With a tie-wire-wrapping tool (spinner) it's probably less time than
fighting with the rolled mesh is - but I had the mesh on hand (bought
ahead at a good price and stored), and the overlaid rebar helped to keep
it flatter. Were I to do another, I'd give more rebar and no mesh a
thought, or look for a source of flat mesh panels, rather than rolled
mesh.
