How do they make those really cool tall tomato cages
I think those would be cool to use for vines of all
kinds but where do you get them and how could I
make them myself. Got any Ideas!

You can buy tomato cages for little of nothing. I am going to use them in some pots too. Good luck!

You can find tomato cages at a walmart or a farmers supply store. I am going to get some of the more square ones instead of the cages that taper at the base.

How about making a teepee for your vines with some long sticks?

Only thing I found about the stick tee pee although it is cheap the ends of the trellising rot after a few months of outside rain or watering. It's great for a temporary fix though thanks

I have made my own out of large gauge hardware cloth. The same stuff bunny cages are made of, but larger spacing. But I don't know where you might find it in your area....farm supply and home improvement centers usually carry it year 'round.
