Any mesh in a ground sheet… even in the more vertical sides, as opposed to the floor itself… would render it nigh on useless! I suspect your afterthought of it being in the fly sheet just above is more likely.
Is the mesh still all there? (Ripped rather than an actual hole?)
McNett Tenacious Tape (clear) is excellent. Can be sold in patches or a small roll. Not cheap per sé, but I’ve only had positive results each time (x 3 uses). Just lay the mesh back in place, (ideally in a flat surface). Tape one side, then the other.
Will even work in an actual hole, where some mesh is missing. (ie 20mm or so, no problem!)
When cutting the tape to size, round off the finished corners, to help avoid it peeling back off.
My last experience was a 10mm hole in my ventilated ridge mesh on an almost new expensive tent. I was gutted! That same repair job is still in place today, over 8 years later, and I’m literally sat under it as I type… looking up and smiling to myself at a job well done!
