Fellow Gardeners, This jerk has changed his followups so your responses won't be seen here but only in austin.gardening After my own disappointments with the flimsy wire cages available for holding up tomatoes,I decided to make my own. Here is what I've come up with. They are made of 1/4" round rod and welded on the ends. I've taken cable clamps and welded the U-shaped threaded ends to the hoops, so that they can be disassembled for shipping and storage. They assemble easily in about a minute with with a 7/16" wrench, socket, or even pliers. They are four ft. tall, but I will also be making them 5 ft. with the option of 4 hoops. They are finished with penetrol for rust-resistance. These cages are heavy duty. What do you think?(Any response is more than appreciated) I make my own out of split bamboo. They don't last forever but they are pretty to look at. |
