I just poured the base for a self supporting 80m full sized vertical. 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.
