I’m explaining the 17 gauge galvanized woven wire for stucco or deep or Self-furring stucco netting.
As a rule for use in stucco, we prefer to use either 17 or 18 gage stucco nettings; anything lighter, like the 20-gauge wire, is mainly used for tile settings or for shower pans and or actually chicken coops.

Yes, I had a chicken a coop with about 7 chickens which I did indeed attach the 20 gauge wire, as that lighter gauge wire is okay to keep the chicken in and the animals out.

As a rule, I prefer 17 gauge or 18; as I said in this video, I dislike applying stucco, and hearing it fall off.
It sounds like cows crapping on flat rocks.
Most plastering yards sell the deep or self-furred woven wire for stucco, so if this deep-furred stucco netting appeals to you, Google “plastering yards near me.”

Think of stucco netting like Dobies for concrete. The Dobies keep the rebar off the ground; this way, the cement goes under the rebar two inches, and then above the rebar two inches, the rebar is in the middle of the poured concrete, where it makes the concert as strong as possible. The deep-furred stucco netting or wire allows the stucco under and over this netting, making the stucco as strong as possible.

Hi B David, thanks for the bone, brother.
 With me there's no such thing as job too small,  I do patches 1 inch by 1 inch or even caulking on up to complete homes, is it possible you have not contacted the right fella?
 Home depot and lowe's also sell this wire, it does not have to be deep furred, in fact deep furred is a special order.
 
Best wishes and keep on trying or better yet, by watching these videos
 You Can Do It.

Your always so descriptive with your presentations and go to the trouble of finding the different examples and making a demo board.
Love your work.

Now a video that makes sense... now this makes me think !!! There is a Art to each step along the way to perfection... i am now going to go look at this big stucco job down the road from my casa where they are installing the furred stucco wire at a remodel chevron gas station to a brand new Extra Mile Chevron gas station. i now will see the depth of the wire up close i will see a great job or a rookie job... cheers kings of plastering.

Very good demonstration. I wasn't getting the point until you applied that other coat on the non furred towards the end.
