I’ve been looking for a better source for rib lath around the st. louis area.  From what I’ve been quoted, Home Depot and the area concrete yards don’t have an appreciable price difference.  Is there an alternative to 27×96 sheet lath that would bring the sqft price down without sacrificing durability?  Am I going to the wrong suppliers?  Is there any place to buy in bulk to cut the price (don’t mind driving a hundred miles)?  The application is portland scratch, brown, and finish interior walls.
