grid size and thickness
Both "size" and "thickness" are needed here, since the dimensions given are 150x150x8. These figures are mm. The grid size is the size of the squares, which are 150x150 mm, and the thickness of the steel wire is 8 mm.
"Welded wire mesh is steel wire welded together to form a flat sheet with a square grid pattern. A common grid size is 150mm x 150mm (6"x6") and a common steel wire thickness is 4mm (1/8"). "

(mesh/hole) size
I would think that it is 150 mm x 150 mm x 8 mm and it refers to the size of the holes and the thickness of the wire.
http://www.nznails.co.nz/Reinforcing_Mesh.shtml
Where required, wire mesh should be a minimum 6x6" (152x152 mm)
welded wire mesh (and should be over-lapped a minimum of 8" (200 mm)
at joints.

After further thought, I think 'with 150-mm squares' is how I would express it.
