Default Joining galvanised wire mesh (chicken wire) ground plane

To improve the ground plane of my roof mounted HF verrtical I plan on lining
the flat roof of my house with chicken wire (wire mesh) which comes in rolls
6' (2M) wide. As this is fabricated from fairly thin galvanised steel wire
I am not sure how to join the strips of mesh or make ground connection to
it. Can it be soldered?
I also plan on retaining the radials which run from the base of the antenna
to the edges of the roof and down to ground level. Should these be above or
below the mesh?
Thanks de Dick G4BBH
