New & Exclusive | Topple-Proof Cages are the Sturdiest Tomato Supports You Can Buy
- Our sturdiest tomato cages are ten times stronger than common cone-shaped wire cages
- Strong enough to support big, fruit-laden plants
- Keep plants securely upright, even in windy locations
- Set of 2
More than cages, these supports are fortresses that guard your tomato plants to prevent toppling under heavy loads and during high winds and heavy rains. In our garden tests they withstood more than ten times the horizontal pulling force compared to common cone-shaped wire cages! So when summer storms roll in, you can rest assured that your tomato plants will remain safely upright. The supports are made from heavy-duty, powder-coated, solid steel stock. You can install the legs as deep as you need (at least 8", deeper in sandy soil) and then attach the bottom ring right on the soil for extreme stability. Set the other rings at any height — lower to support shrubby plants, higher if you prune lower leaves. Each cage has three upright supports and four rings to create a generous 18" diameter support that is about 50" high (depending on how deeply you install the uprights).
The extensions allow you to increase the height of your Topple-Proof Tomato Cages by 28", transforming them into Topple-Proof Tomato Towers. Each extension includes three upright supports that fit over the cage uprights and two support rings.

It took 2 1/2 months for these tomato towers to arrive and I was disappointed after the wait. The assembly was very awkward -- definitely a two person job. I hope they are as "topple proof" as they were advertised. They apparently do lie flat for easy storage, but that means they must be disassembled at the end of the season. I certainly don't look forward to having to assemble them again. Other tomato supports actually fold flat for convenient storage without being disassembled. No mention of "Made in China" was made in the listing.
Packaging was also not great. The box was partially open -- held together by strapping. Parts had come out of the plastic packaging. Not a happy experience after such a long wait.

I was EXTREMELY dissapointed. Assembly was nearly an impossible task. For the price paid I never expect to have to build the tower myself. The parts do not fit well together. By the time is was done it was a scratched mess.
