I looked at your link.
I think the products from that company are related only to the concreting business.
In areas where the soil is acidic or you have marine [ salty ] environments precautions need to be taken to
prevent corrosion [ rusting ] of the reinforcement, since the reinforcement is an integral part of the strength of concrete.
The bags of fibre mesh are mixed into the sloppy mix and replace the need for steel mesh, its my guess at this stage the actual mesh shown is for situations where fibre mesh is not strong enough.
IE dome structures
From their information
The construction industry is becoming aware of the existence of reinforcing bars made from fiber-reinforced plastic.
Fiberglass rebar has been on the market for some time, making inroads where steel rebar doesn’t work well.
The first common applications have been used in corrosive environments and places where the induced fields resulting from steel reinforced concrete structures exposed to high levels of radio frequency radiations are a problem.
There is now a new entry into this field, rebar made from basalt continuous filaments.
Basalt is a common volcanic rock, found throughout the world where volcanoes have erupted and sent lava to the surface. It is actually present everywhere at a depth below the surface
The actual mesh you spoke of appears to be steel mesh, with a resin coating and I believe for the application it is being used in, ferrocement domes, its perfect, but I think for fencing good quality galvanised mesh would be better.
