Unlike Galvanized mesh, all the stucco mesh I've seen was painted steel
and likely would not last. I don't know if the crossings are
electrically connected. It's been years since I had reason to work with
it. (1966). I'm sure there are those on here who are familiar with it.

Addresses the radial/mesh issue, but not the stucco mesh.
Galvanized is good. Stucco mesh?

The manual recommends individual radial wires and to make sure they
never overlap as that can cause issues.
My question. I have a bunch of what I think is stucco mesh. I was
thinking about laying down around the base of the vertical or laying
out in a couple of direction assuming I can get a decent bond from one
piece to the next.
Is there an issue with using this mesh? Would I just be better off
running single radial wires versus having a dense field around the
base or do both and hook up the separate radials to the end of the
mesh in a circular fashion.
I just don't want to waste my time of folks don't think the mesh is
worth fooling around with.
Thanks for the comments.
