Strength of Galebreaker material compared to silage clamp plastic cover sheets?

I am considering using Galebreaker or the similar silage clamp fine mesh material for covering the sides of my large,split stacks of 2.5 mtr cordwood this coming season . The idea being the mesh will let the wind blow through the stacks but it will stop some driving rain from getting the wood wet.
I will cover the top of the stacks with ex 30ton bulker covers which I already have and work really well.
So which is stronger Galebreaker or silage cover mesh??

A mate uses galebreaker on the sides of his wood storage shed and it seems to work well, must have been up 10 years without trouble.
try Adams tarpaulings for it, much cheaper and stronger than genuine galebreaker when I last bought one

Could be to do with the silage acid but i bought covers and gale breakers about 12-14yrs ago and while the galebreakers are as good as new the silage covers are breaking down.
