Premixed Base Coats: These will usually have the cement, sand, lime and everything else you that makes up a good base coat mix and you will just add water to the bag. These are sheets (roughly 27' x 96') not rolls, like some of the other wires that are sold. Diamond Metal Lath: Home Depot will always have expanded metal lath that has the small diamond pattern in it.The paper backed wire usually comes in rolls but I have also seen it come in sheets (4' x 8' ?) at some HD locations. Not recommended for new construction projects though. This is typically used on open stud walls, where an existing paper backed material is being used. Paper Backed Wire: Almost every HD I have been to has paper backed wire of some kind (usually on the roll) and has the wire (17 gauge) and paper fused together.One Coat Wire: I have only seen one coat stucco wire at selected HD stores and if they have the one coat wire, it will be a 20 gauge wire (lighter weight wire than the three coat wire).This is great wire for using in the three coat stucco system. Three Coat Wire: HD usually has this wire in stock and it will be the 17 gauge wire that is self furred.Wire: Home Depot will usually have stucco wire in stock but will carry different types of wire, depending on which location you are at.
