Default Tomato Cages - Goat Wire

Here is how my husband made my cages for me using goat wire. Goat wire is 4 ft tall. He cuts 16 squares and forms a circle bending the ends of the wire back to hook the wire together. He then splits another 16 square panel and adds two feet to the top. Now the cage is approximately 6 feet tall. The other half is used on another cage. Goat wire is galvanized so it won't rust like concrete wire. It has a nice opening (4 x 4 ) in it to reach in and pick tomatoes.
Here is a picture of one of my cages with a Big Beef.

I finally got around to making some cages over the past few days. I needed some prior to having time to build some so I purchased some.

Have a look friends...I really think the cattle panel cages are going to be the real deal!

Yes, plus they will collapse EASY and fit under the deck you see in the background!
