Discontinuous Galerkin with finite difference rules (DGFD) is applied to mechanical plane stress state problem. The considered domain is discretized by polygonal mesh. The polygonal elements can be for example a hexagon, pentagon or just quadrangle or triangle. They do not have to be convex and a fish mesh, where the elements have fish shapes, is used. When the elements are rectangular then the orthogonality of Chebyshev basis functions can be utilized. In such a case very high-order approximate solution can be obtained. In this work the approximation order exceeds 10 and reaches 60, which in the latter case means 3600 numbers of degrees of freedom in a single element. The paper is illustrated by a benchmark example in which the exact solution is recovered by DGFD method for various meshes. In the "other example the stress concentration is easily recovered by very high-order version of DGFD method.
