Cheaper to buy very tall bamboo canes and tie them together at the top.
Others poke the tops of the canes through the holes of an inverted plant
pot. Or, if it's available to you, cut the rough and straggly growth out
of
a hedge and use that as pea sticks. That's the old way of doing it.

I use prunings from the fruit trees.

We grew our sweet peas in tubs in that fashion this summer. It looks much
nicer with flowers and eating type peas.
