Please could someone tell me if this expanded metal is to fine mesh for a charcoal basket?

its 16mm x 8mm holes and i am hoping to use it for the base of the basket.
I can notch our some sections to allow ash to fall through if necessary i guess?
As many of my UK brethren have found already expanded metal is not easy to get hold of here!
It 'might" be too small for the bottom as far as ash. It should be fine for the sides of the basket though. I used a round charcoal grate from an old ECB for the bottom of mine.
