Default Concrete reinforcing mesh for tomato cages?

There are several American online sites which suggest using concrete reinforcing wire mesh with 6" squares for constructing cylindrical cages for tomatoes, squashes etc.
In U.K. this seems to come in sheets rather than rolls and to be quite thick, rigid and not cheap (A142 seems to be the lightest weight)
Has anyone experience of using this material and bending it into cylinders? Or is there any similar material which would create robust, reasonably self-supporting cages of this kind?
