Weep screed

In combination in a weep screed for providing a reinforcement for stucco at or near the foundation plate line of a building,

• first wires disposed in a first lattice arrangement having essentially a vertical disposition,
• second wires disposed in a second lattice arrangement having essentially a horizontal disposition, and
• the first and second wires being integrated by third wires disposed in a third lattice arrangement bent through an angle between essentially the vertical disposition and essentially the horizontal disposition,
• fourth wires disposed in a fourth lattice arrangement having essentially a vertical disposition and displaced horizontally from the first wires,
• the second and fourth wires being integrated by fifth wires disposed in a fifth lattice arrangement bent through angle between essentially the horizontal disposition and essentially the vertical disposition.

In combination in a weep screed for providing reinforcement for stucco at or near the foundation plate line of a building,

• a lattice having first and second sections respectively having predominantly vertical and horizontal dispositions, the first section including:
• a plurality of wires having primarily vertical dispositions and disposed in an undulating relationship and having an overlapping relationship near the extremities of the undulations, and
• line wires extending in a lateral direction in overlapping relationship to the undulating wires at spaced positions to provide a reinforcement for the stucco;
• the undulating wires at the bottom of the first section being bent from a predominantly vertical disposition toward a predominantly horizontal disposition to provide a transition between the first and second sections;
• and
• the second section including:
• line wires extending in the lateral direction in overlapping relationship to the undulating wires in the transition between the first and second sections at the bottom of the first section to provide a reinforcement for the stucco.
