meshy

Like woven netting

Meshy describes something having the quality or texture of mesh—an open, netlike structure with visible gaps or holes.

A meshy fabric lets air through; meshy patterns appear in screens, filters, or woven materials: The meshy material made the bag breathable but not waterproof.

The word is informal and relatively uncommon.
