Default Building a stucco over wood framing courtyard wall

I would like to build a courtyard wall using wood framing with a stucco
finish. I live in California, and such walls are not uncommon, but I'm
unable to find any books, articles, info, etc, that covers the construction
of such a wall. I'm thinking that there might be recommended adjustments to
make due to the weight of the stucco, like using 4x6 posts on 6ft centers
instead of 4x4 on 8ft centers, etc.

Can anyone point me to some good sources of information?

Many Thanks...



I don't know all the details, but it might be more appropriate for you
to consider and acrylic stucco like Drivit or Sto over a wood frame.
They have web pages that talk about their application.
