The O is a post, believe me this works, I always loved my cages spaced 3' x 4' but I couldn't grow near as many, plus space to store the cages was a problem. I'm using 1 1/4" pipe 7' long, if you use wood you may have to go every 3 plants.

Glad to hear that 18 inches works for you. Last year, I used a post every two plants. It looks like I can do better than that and save some money on posts.
