Actually they are triangular and they set up very easily. I think they are
more like 54" tall. Can't beat them for $4.

You mean those square ones? Are they any easier to set up too (hitting
rock
with the three legged ones is a real problem).

I purchased 48" high foldable tomato towers at Home Depot yesterday for
$3.98 each. Much bigger and better than the standard 98 cent cage.

Hi All,

Question -- has anyone tried stakes vs cages? I've tried stakes in
the
past
unsuccessfully and always ended up with cages but all of the gardening
shows
and books seem to feature staking.

Right now I planted a couple and put cages up -- mostly to protect
from
my
dog trampling them -- but every year the cages always proof too small
and
the plants hang over everywhere. So I'm back to wondering about
staking
.
