Actual product referenceStucco Netting (Hex Netting)
Galvanized hex netting for plaster & stucco reinforcement
Stucco netting is galvanized woven hexagonal wire mesh used as a plaster base — it keys the scratch coat to walls, ceilings and sheathed surfaces. It is the ASTM C1032 "woven wire plaster base" and is installed per ASTM C1063, which requires the mesh to stand at least 1/4 in (6 mm) off the substrate and lap 1 in (25 mm) at the seams. Leeter draws, galvanizes and weaves plain and self-furring stucco netting at our factory in Dingzhou, Hebei, with wire gauge, hex opening, furring and roll size specified to your market.

What is self-furring stucco netting?
Self-furring stucco netting has dimples pressed into the mesh that hold it about 1/4" (6mm) off the substrate, so the plaster or stucco scratch coat pushes behind and fully embeds the wire. ASTM C1063 requires that offset, which is why self-furring netting is the standard choice over sheathing or building paper — flat netting needs separate furring nails to achieve the same gap.
What is the difference between stucco netting and metal lath?
Stucco netting is woven hexagonal wire (ASTM C1032) — economical and flexible for keying a stucco basecoat on framed and sheathed walls. Expanded metal lath (ASTM C847) is diamond-cut sheet, stiffer, for surfaces needing more rigidity; welded wire lath (ASTM C933) sits between them. The IBC recognizes all three, and all install under ASTM C1063.
What wire gauge and mesh size is stucco netting?
The common ASTM C1032 sizes are 17 gauge (1.47mm) wire in a 1-1/2" (38mm) hex opening and 18 gauge (1.24mm) in a 1" (25mm) opening. Lighter 19–20 gauge hex netting is available for economy or lighter plaster. Heavier gauge and smaller openings hold more plaster weight and are chosen for ceilings and thicker basecoats.
How much stucco netting do I need, and how much does a roll cover?
A 48" × 150 ft (1219mm × 45.7m) roll covers about 600 sq ft (55.7 m²) gross, but you lose roughly 1" per seam to the required C1063 laps, so estimate about 5–8% waste on top of your wall area. Tell us your total wall area and we convert it to rolls for the quote.
Galvanized before or after weaving — which should I order?
Galvanized-before-weaving (GBW) is drawn from pre-galvanized wire and is economical; galvanized-after-weaving (GAW) dips the finished mesh so the cut wire ends and weave points are also coated, giving better corrosion life in wet or coastal climates. For long-life exterior stucco we recommend GAW or a heavier zinc coating; state your climate and we match the finish.
