Comments about Tomato Cages:
The cages are wonderful for my tomatoes and large dahlias! They store easily and they are a must-have for any garden.
from St. Augustine, Florida on 10/30/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Came back and bought 4 more. Can use these not only for tomatoes but peppers, cucumbers, and snap peas. Very sturdy and easy to install. Easily stack on top of each other for tall plants. Look good too.
from Loudon, TN on 10/30/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I already had 8 but needed more. I was frustrated with the circular tomato cages, not high enough and too flimsy. Easy to fold and store for next year.
from michigan on 10/23/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These tomato cages are great. They support the plants well and it is easier to reach in and pick the tomatoes. I didn't use any ground stakes and they blew over in heavy wind. I will definitely use stakes next year. They store easily and take up very little space. I would buy more of these for next year's garden.
from Strasburg, Illinois on 10/7/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These cages are good for all types of garden plants besides tomatoes. Cucumber and small squash also work well with these.
from Augusta, Ga on 10/6/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These tomato cages are great. Nice and sturdy, square so you don't need as much garden tape to hold up the plants, lots of places on all four sides to support the veggies and fruit as they grow. Best of all instead of all the space big old cumbersome tomato supports take, these hang in the potting shed flat against the wall for next year.

for tomatoes
from St. Augustine, Florida on 10/1/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These tomato cages are the best I have ever used. I'm presently buying more of them. I have 4 cucumber plants growing on each side of one of these cages and it is growing so tall that I will stack another cage on top for plant support. They are easy to install, very sturdy, and the best part is that they fold flat for easy garage storage.

Comments about Tomato Cages:
The long legs are wind resistant in a windy location.
from austin, tx on 9/16/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I'm just beginning to grow tomatoes for the first time but have grown up with many gardeners for whom tomatoes are a second nature. Any of them would kill to have this set of cages
from Baltimore, maryland on 9/14/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
This product is so easy to install. I live in a very rocky area but had no difficulty getting all four ends in the ground. It is very sturdy.
from Central Vermont on 9/11/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I love the stacking idea and will be using them for tomatos, stringbeans, cukes, and winter squash. Also they are holding up so much better then the tomato cages I am replacing. I have tried many different types, and these are the best so far. Thanks!
from Los Angeles, CA on 9/10/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Out will go the old-style tomato baskets. These are the best for all above-ground vine plants.
from new jersey on 9/10/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
need to stack at least 2 cages for tomato plants.
No need to tie plants.
from Cleveland, OH on 9/8/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
The cages are too small for healthy tomato plants as they continue to grow,but they are sturdy and durable.
from Canton, Il. on 9/7/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
this support system is easy to handle and is strong enough to hold large, rampant growth.
from oklahoma on 9/7/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I use these for my tomatoes. Best cages ever - sturdy, attractive and easy to store
from The Villages, FL. on 9/7/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I not only use for tomatoes but peppers, eggplant and as a trellis for growing peas and cukes.
from Lake San Marcos, CA on 9/7/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
This year I planted our usual 14 tomato plants, then found four new varieties we wanted to try. I bought cages for them from our local (very good) nursery. When we got home and attempted to get them around the new plants they were wimpy, ungainly, awkward to handle and of poor quality. Took them back and immediately ordered 4 new ones from Gardener's Supply. Thanks ! xox
from Goleta, CA on 8/31/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I'm using these tomato cages for the first time, after using other tomato supports before. These are the best I've used.
from norfolk, virginia on 8/27/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
we used them this late in the season to support new plants.
from Brooklyn, NY on 8/27/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These worked great for my small tomato patch. It's my first time using cages and I found them to live up to the hype. My tomato plants are happy!
from East Patchogue, New York on 8/25/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
So easy, even if you never gardened before. Super sturdy. Holds up even in severe thunderstorms and keeps the tomato plants upright. After one bad storm, my tomato plants didn't bend and my neighbors wanted to know where they could get them. Double stack them for those tall tomato plants and still so easy to get to the fruit. If you have tomatoes, you have to get these cages!
from Marshfield, WI on 8/24/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These tomato cages are the best. I have some like these that my parents had 40 years ago and I was glad to find similar ones. They are roomy, sturdy and easily stored.
from taylorsville ky. on 8/24/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Happy with product but wish it heavier gage..
from Trenton, MI on 8/22/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Best cages I have ever used. They support the tomato plants without any extra supports. Kept my Sweet 100 plant contained enough that I can walk around it and pick easily. And it did not fall over from the weight of the plant! I love the way it folds for storage.
from Lansing, MI on 8/21/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I love this tomato cage. I only wish it opened so you could wrap it around the plant if it's grown too large.
from Montclair,New Jersey on 8/21/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I recently ordered tomato cages and was not surprised at the quality of these new toys. I will not use them this year as I ordered too late and my tomatoes were already comfortable in their towers. I know I will love them because I will not miss staking! Can't wait til next year.
from Rappahannock , Virginia on 8/19/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Very strong and stable
I did plant determinate plants with these cages, but they were a bit too short when used as an individual cage. I may need to try stacking
from Seymour, CT on 8/18/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Great support for tomatoes, eggplants and I even used one to reign in a sprawling Dahlia! I plan on purchasing more.
from Schertz, TX on 8/17/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Very roomy. Lots of room for tomatoes and large openings make care and harvesting a breeze.
from Sidney, MT on 8/13/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
we needed a frame for an outdoor insect cage but the size was to large for our cage skins----it is a great cage with a heavy wire gauge in construction also the folding idea is great for storage.
from Rich Hill, Missouri on 8/12/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I have stacked them two-high. My tomato plants are
growing out the top.
from Salem,Ohio on 8/12/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
We have used sturdy stakes for 20 years,which entails tying up the plants as they increase in height. These cages save that extra labour,keeping them very tidy and accessible. We had a problem with deer eating the plants at the beginning of the season,but they no longer go there. I'm thinking they don't want to mess with the metal structure.
from Batavia, IL on 8/11/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
When inserting into ground some of the solder joints broke. One cage was missing "pieces". The value for the expense was poor.
from Zionsville, IN on 8/10/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Very easy to set up.
Definitely need additional supports once plant get quite tall if windy.
Has sharp edges which can tear clothes if one is not careful
from Harrisville, MI on 8/10/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
They are perfcet, sturdy, and make the garden look sooo much better.
from Loveland, CO on 8/9/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Keeps plants contained and growing upward, fruit stays off the ground.
from Grand Blanc, MI on 8/9/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
We use these to support tomato plants, and our plants are healthier and never need staking or tying! The cages are durable, and I still have the first ones I bought years ago, and have added more each year. They may seem a bit pricey, but they will last far longer than anything you might find elsewhere and will make it up in durability and functionality.
from Wallingford, CT on 8/9/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
The tomato cages are great for keeping tomato plants contained. They are also great to keep animals away from the plants!
from Huntsville, OH on 8/8/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Stacked two cages on top of each other and should probably order more to make stacks of three. Easily stackable by wiring them together.
from Wisconsin on 8/8/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
The tomato cages have held up to strong winds and downpours which we have had this summer. My tomato plants are heavy, and the cages have not fallen over or needed staking.
from West Chester, Pa. on 8/8/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Tomato Cages are very strong and they won't rust.
The cages I orginally ordered many, many years ago are still in great shape. I've expanded my garden, so I ordered more!
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I purchased a set 2 years ago and am going to order another set. I will not purchase the cone shaped cages anymore. Nieghbors that are avid gardners as well, ask where they can purchase these. Glad you came up with this product.
from Ann Arbor, MI on 8/8/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These are heavy weight & roomy. Effortless assembly & easy flat storage. Love 'em!
from Vernon Hulls, IL on 8/7/2009

This fits over the red plastic tomato starters perfectly.
from vermont on 8/7/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I am growing various strains of tomato and these cages hold up the heaviest variety.
from VT on 8/6/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I bought some last year and was impressed with them, bought more this year.
from Bellevue, WA on 8/6/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I put them around my peonies when they first appear in the spring. They have to go in early before I risk damaging any growth.
from Sault Ste. Marie, MI on 8/4/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These are my favorite cages. I use them in my deck pots and veggie garden from first transplant until fall. In spring I wrap fabric around the cage to protect the transplant from cool nights and wind. In fall I again wrap fabric around to protect the plants and fruit/vegetable from cold and/or frost.
from Racine, WI on 8/4/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These tomato cages are great. I've been using them for years. My brother liked mine so well he had me order some for him. He's throwing out his small flimsy cages and replacing them with these cages.
from Westland MI on 8/1/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
It pops right open and folds up easily for storage
from West Chester, PA on 7/31/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
We use the cages for pepper and eggplants as well as tomatos.
from north Texas on 7/30/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Cages are way better than cones to provide support to tomatoes. My cones tip over when the tomatoes become tall and heavy, but not the cages.
from Franktown Colorado on 7/30/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I was directed to this product and saw how it was working and loved it.. I not only ordered one set after I got the first set I had to order more and now own 5 sets and plan on getting more for the next season. I have found several uses for this cages.. not only tomatos but tall flowers as well. I will surely find more uses as the season goes on.
Thank you so much for such a great product.

from Beaver Dam, WI on 7/30/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I had one set of these from years ago that are still going strong. Then went to a garden center and bought some that were much lighter in weight and harder to store. I gave those away the next year and ordered more. You can not beat the wire weight of these and the ease of use and storage. And they will last for years.
from Plano, TX on 7/28/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These are great, very easy to put together, very sturdy -- they did cost more that the junk I got at the garden center but I'm throwing all those away and buying more of these tomato cages for next year.
from Britt, Iowa on 7/28/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Use this as it is described for tomato plants. Much sturdier than other such products.
from Palmyra, VA on 7/27/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I purchased these to go in my self-watering containers on my deck. They were recommend as "you might also be interested in..." on the self-watering container page here at Gardener Supply. As others have pointed out, the cages are not very tall, which is a problem for particularly wild tomato varieties, but I could live with that. What was I wasn't expecting was how narrow the cages are, tiny squares instead of roomy rectangles. (Note to self: use a tape measure to gauge size BEFORE ordering!) They fill a little over a half of the large rectangular self-watering containers.
The spot welds aren't all that great, either. I tested them all, and they seem sturdy enough this year, but I suspect I'll be fixing them in a year or two.
All in all, a decent enough product, but I would like to see them be wider, as well as taller.
from South East PA on 7/27/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
[...] I was immediately supirsed by thier light weight and flimsy feel. [...]Once in the ground around a young tomato plant they work great, supporting even a large tomato plant with no problem. However, when my tomatoes got blighted and I had to remove the cages to pull out and disgard the tomatoes, three out of four cages bent and two of those broke at the indequate weld joints.Note: You do have to be careful not to bend or cause them to snap apart when pushing them into the soil initially.All in all, I was disapointed with the quality and poor construction of the cages and next year I will be looking for a stronger, better built replacement.
from Brainerd, MN on 7/27/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
The only complaint I have is that I didn't buy enough the first time I ordered! I have used the first set for two seasons. They stored well. We hang them after collapsing them.
So many friends have commented on my healthy tomato plants in these cages.
from Essexville, Michigan on 7/27/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Finally a tomato cage that can handle tomatos! I bought more immediately. They fold neatly for storage and keep the garden looking tidy.
from Canonsburg, PA on 7/27/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I use tomato cages to corral my dahlias. They also come in handy for preparing roses for the winter, as you can put several layers of material (mulch, manure, straw, etc.) within the cage without risk of it blowing away. The product is very well made and sturdy.
from Washington County, Maine on 7/24/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These tomato cages are so much better than the round ones I used to use. They hold up from year to year, and store easily. I only had 8 of them from last year, so I had to get 8 more this summer. They work well for any vining plant that you need to keep the fruit off the ground. You can even plant peas around the outside of the cage to save space. When I store them next time, I will only collapse them, not completely fold them up because it can be tricky to get them opened up again.
from Sedalia, Colorado on 7/23/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I actually ended up using this cage to let my peas grow up and around!
from Palisade , CO on 7/23/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I am very pleased with my new Tomato cages. They are stong and provide great support. Best of all I like how easy they fold up for storage to be used next year. A good investment in my favorite hobby.

Great product; really helps support and seperate the plant branches.
from Pittsburgh, PA on 7/21/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
A wonderful item - so sturdy and attractive - does a super job with my Heirloom tomatoes that grow quite large and heavy. The BEST tomato support I have found and NOT available locally even in hardware stores. Fortunately my neighbor found these at Gardeners Supply and gave me the website. Thanks so much ! ! ! [...]
from Carbondale, IL on 7/21/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These cages were so easy to set up and store away when the season ends. The most functional tomato cages I have seen. Also, the square shape is nicer than the traditional round because it fits in garden rows better
from mduguie[@] on 7/20/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Using on our tomato plants, I love how it provides support all the way up the plant
Store bought cages are round and dont support the lower-middle stems.

Comments about Tomato Cages:
Good product. First time user. Will probably buy more next season
from Kennewick, WA on 7/20/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I used these tomato cages for the first time this year and I was very impressed. We have very high winds and they withstood them much better than anything else I have tried in the past. One of the other great features is they fold up flat so they are very easy to store.
from Greenville, RI on 7/20/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I've used many different types of wire cages and never have I found one this sturdy. Easy to assemble and has two insertion per side so it's not going to tip over. I have never found a cage that grows as tall as my plants so my 'short' comment is not to be taken as compared to other products. It will likely be used in my garden for the next 10+ years.
from Southeastern Connecticut on 7/20/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These are absolutely the best tomato cages I have ever used. They are strong and expandable. The cages are easily supporting huge tomato and tomatillo plants bearing large amounts of fruit. I hope they last for many years to come.
from Auburn, CA on 7/20/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
It was exactly what we needed to keep our tomatoes off the gound in very rocky soil
from Port Angeles, WA on 7/18/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Where we live we mostly have to grow tomatoes in pots. These cages work perfectly in an 18" pot. Of course they would be just as effective in the ground.
from Jericho, New York on 7/18/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I love these tomatoe cages. They are easy to
put over the plant due to their shape. They fold flat for easy and space saving storage.
from Cincinnati, Ohio on 7/18/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I love the product but I wish the opening was larger, I think it has cramped my tomato plants a little.
from Washougal, WA on 7/18/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I'm very pleased with these cages. It would seem that I should be able to store these easily as they fold flat and they ought to last indefinitely since they are so sturdy. They are also actually large enough to support the plants. I will look to buy more over time.
from Yonkers, NY on 7/17/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I have scoured nurseries and elsewhere for good tomato supports and have purchased different kinds; these are the best by far; sturdy, well connected, and easy to set up.
from Lincoln, Nebraska on 7/17/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
We are using it in a square pot to support our tomatoes and it is the perfect size and works great! Came in box folded and was difficult to get apart, but very sturdy.
from NJ on 7/17/2009

I stack these 3 or 4 high. My plants get to 12 ft tall.

Use with small plants to give support and protection.
from Spring Creek, NV on 7/17/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
For years I have used the traditional tomatoe baskets and fought their instablility every time. These are terrific. Easy to set up and give GREAT support to tall, heavy plants.
from Lawrenceville New Jersey on 7/16/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
In my 50+ years of Gardening, I have used every imaginable product and method to cage tomatoes. These cages are by far the best product of its kind I have ever found. These cages work equally well from the determinate tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and other shorter plants. I use the GS tomatoe Towers-Set of 2 from the taller tomato plants.
from Fairview, MT on 7/14/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
The tomato cages are very sturdy and are very helpful with heavy tomato plants
from Lakewood,CO on 7/13/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Product was just what I wanted and needed. It supports my tomato plants without falling over once the plants are loaded with fruit. Very easy assembly and storage.
from Philadelphia, PA on 7/13/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I'm a first time tomato gardner - My grandchildren & I each planted tomato's in a race to see who could produce the 1st tomato. Once they got going, the plants began leaning with the weight of the tomato's, I saw these & they are perfect! The cages hold up the plants & they look so neat & tidy in the yard! Came folded flat & popped right open for easy use & storage! Can't get any easier than this! Thanks for a great product!

Comments about Tomato Cages:
I use the tomato cages to keep my garden neat and easy to walk through. I am an amputee and don't tiptoe through the stems very well if they are laying on the ground. I keep ordering more for myself and family.
from from Hawthorne, NY on 7/11/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I am trying 2 things with these cages
1- to prevent the rust at the ends, I have painted the bottom 8 to 10 inches - will have to see if this helps
2- when I need a taller cage - I am attaching a second one on top of the first with plastic "pull ties"
from Chewelah, WA on 7/10/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I keep finding places to use these and buying more. Strong enough to hold up berry bushes, climbing roses. They stack too. I use netting around them to make protective cages from the deer. Love that I can fold them up and store them in the winter. Take up so little space.
from washington DC area on 7/10/2009

I have tried others, and there is no comparison, these are the best!
from Lansing, MI on 7/9/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Small amount of rust on cage in places where it had been scratched or rubbed in [...] Otherwise nice cage. Like that it folds up. Very sturdy wire holds a large harvest.
from Ithaca, NY on 7/9/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I've tried soooo many tomato cages over the years and will look no further. These are very sturdy and have some sort of spring mechanism so that they fold up flat for storage. The square shape provides plenty of room for even the bushiest plants. I highly recommend these!
from Nashville, TN on 7/8/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
The description in the catalog is very accurate. These heavy-duty tomato cages are durable as they hold up year after year of use resisting rusting and bending. They are great for multi season use as they fold away flat for storing. Most importantly, these cages hold up full grown plants and keep them sturdy. I like them so well that I've given them to my father on Father's Day.
from Charlotte, NC on 7/7/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Love the durability with these cages, not flimsy like others I've tried. Folds flat when not in use. They stack on top of each other nicely in the garden too for taller plants. Wish they were a couple inches wider for bushier tomatoes. Thrown all my cheaper brand cages away. Worth the money.

We now have Cucumbers that are vining up our tomato cages.
from Farmington Hills, MI on 7/7/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
First year in use, and they are standing strong during what has been a very windy summer,so far. I didn't give 5 stars only because they haven't gone through the whole season yet. There's no reason to believe they won't be a 5-star product, tho!
from Chicago suburb on 7/6/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I use them for supporting my tomato plants all of which are indeterminate. My only complaint is that they tend to snag my clothes as I work near them. However, they are well-constructed and useful.
from Las Vegas, NV on 7/6/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
In my raised beds to keep my plants caged, so as not to spread over the beds. Helps to keep my vegies off the ground. I have had the ones you get in the local shops and they are lousy. I might even order some for my son-in-law for his 20 acres.
from Cazenovia, NY on 7/6/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Have had some of these for at least seven years. I like the fact that they fold flat for storage.
from Birmingham, AL on 7/6/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
They are easy to combine (one on top of the other) and only require two to four small zip ties to keep them together to support tomato plant growth throughout season.
from Winfield IL on 7/5/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Love these tomato cages as they really hold up for years and years and store flat. Sturdy and allow ease of picking as it allows the plants to grow up and requires less stretching and bending. Great for people with back issues.
from De Queen, AR on 7/4/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
This is one of the best products on the market for the square foot gardener. I have always had problems getting water to the roots. These self-watering pots do just that. This is my 2nd set and I plant everything in them; tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, squash, whatever.
I used tie wraps on the cage. I found this easier than the snap together clips that came with the kit.
I do not like the new pot design. My first set of pots had a hole at the bottom and it was easy to put the water hose in the hole and fill the pot until the water overflowed throught the hole. These pots have a tube for adding water and I find if difficult to know when the resevoir is full. I do not feel that his design is a plus to these pots.
I also didn't realize that I needed to pull off the tip of the peaks in the resevoir to allow water to drain. One pot is set up correctly and the 2nd is not. I was also confused about the float system. It fell apart in my hands and once I figured out the 2nd pot, I realized my mistakes with the first pot.
from michigan on 7/2/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I have the extended tower version - for my Earthboxes...I've staked them in a diamond pattern. My tomatoes are supported from the wind and should have plenty of growing room vertically. I will mention that four hands are better than two if you have established plants. I should have bought these sooner. These are VERY well made -- can't imagine them falling apart on the way to the garden as another mentioned, since these are the best tomato support I can find on the market...Try one--I highly recommend them. I will buy several more for next year.
from Springboro, OH on 7/1/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I bought four tomato cages for a father's day gift. He loved it! The description about the cages were correct. The cages were heavy duty and well constructed. They will support more weight than the traditional tomato cages. My dad also liked the height of the cages. Thanks for a great product!
from Loudon, NH on 7/1/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I use my tomato cages in the 3 EarthBox containers gardens on the deck as well as in the raised beds for tomatoes, cucumbers and summer squash. I currently have one placed in a diamond shape (not opened fully to a square) at the very end of one of the raised beds and will be training some butternut squash to climb up the cage to keep the squash off from the ground. As I am short on gardening space, I tend to crowd in as many different vegetables in my gardens as I can. 99% of the tomato cages and bean cages are opened up into squares.
I also have two of the tall bean cages that I use to grow my Kentucky Wonder Pole Green Beans and KW Wax Beans on. The cages are so much better than using poles cut from small trees in the woods and last much longer. They are also very attractive in the garden when covered with the bean foliage and blossoms. Picking the beans from them is made much easier too. The cages are easy to store in my gardening room in the barn. They fold up flat and I hang them up on hooks on the walls along with tomato cages and rings that support the tall flowers in my gardens. I highly recommend them to all gardeners.

This is an excellent product. The wire is of a reasonable weight, the "feet" at the bottom are long enough to provide stability, and they fold nicely. The width is perfect. The height is acceptable, but another foot would have been nice.

Use these in your vegetable garden for tomatoes or in your flower garden to support large, bushy dahlias. Easy to install and they will last for many seasons. A good, solid investment.

Comments about Tomato Cages:
These are the best cages we have ever had. They will last a long time, easy to use and store. I use them for anything that needs support. Also try the cold frame (You'll never use another one) and that little scooter. It can be adjusted to my height and is beautifully made. Another great addition to our supplies. Thanks for continuing to have great products, Francene

from Fenton, MI on 6/30/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
This is our first year for planting LOTS of tomatoes (44 plants). These cages set up easily. [...] Cages lie flat which will be great for winter storage. MUCH heavier gauge wire than other tomato cages we looked at. A little more money than other cages but you are getting a much better quality product.
from rural New England on 6/30/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I've used these in both urban and country gardens, and they are functional, versatile and sturdy, lending an air of tidiness at the beginning and end of the season. They fold flat and, tied with a bit of twine, are compact and easy to store. The ones I bought 5 years ago continue to function as well as the 4 I bought this year. These are the foundational structure of my raised beds!
from Kaysville, UT on 6/30/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Product is easy to use and accomplish the task desired. Good not only for tomatoes but other plants in the garden and yard. More than enough room within the cage to allow the plant to grow without creating problems for it. Storage is very easy. Have recommended the product to several friends.

These are strong enough to hold up to very fully laden tomato plants, they fold flat for storage, and last for years. I'm still happy with my old ones -- just needed more!
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I've had a few of these cages for 7+ years and they still look/work good as new. They are the sturdiest metal cages I have seen for home gardens and I appreciate that they are collapsable for winter storage. They can handle heavy loads. The only cages I've liked better are wooden and bamboo ones I've built myself, especially in terms of appearance. But really, it doesn't get much better than these. They are my standard go-to's.
from McLendon-Chisholm, Tx on 6/28/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These cages are great. Very sturdy. The ease of use and the easy fold up at the end of the season for storage is fantastic. I made two cages myself from concrete wire fencing before I discovered these cages. I will not be making anymore of those.
from Finger Lakes, NY on 6/28/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Much easier to use/store than traditional round tomato cages. One of about a dozen warped and bent some when it was folded for storage. It's still quite usable. Once the tomato plant reaches full size, it's not noticeable. Also -- use care when unfolding. They can pop open suddenly and it's easy to get scraped by the raw ends of the wire toggles.

It's almost July and, so far, these tomato cages are very adequate. They are study and seem large enough to contain the plants and keep them fairly upright. Have had a lot of windy days without any problems; the cages remained in place and provided good support for the plants. I think they will work well once the plants bear fruit.

Tomatoe cages are Lightweight, store easily, keep fruit off ground, and are easier than stakes and ties. They rust, so don't last forever, but are good for at least five seasons.
from Fairfax, VA on 6/22/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Last year the tomato plants I had in large pots overgrew the bamboo stakes. So I tried these this year. In addition to using it as a four sided box, you can take one side off and make a triangle for a pot that is not wide enough for all four sides. Stores well (flat). I bought some for a friend who has a huge garden.

Comments about Tomato Cages:
It's about time! It's great to have a sturdy tomato cage that can hold the weight. We live in a windy site and it's very difficult to keep top heavy plants from blowing over. The square design really holds plants in place. Also, the idea that they fold flat for storage is terrific. The 'old' cages didn't store well...too much opportunity for injury.

We purchased one last year and it was late in the season, so the cherry tomato plants were hard to get in the cage, but this year we ordered another one and put the cages in right after planting the cherry and grape tomato plants. So far so good. I like knowing that the plants are all inside and won't fall over come August. We finally feel we got a handle on this years garden. Will keep you posted on the end results.

These cages work great. The old cone shaped cages I had were flimsy, difficult to store and not tall enough or strong enough.

from Southern Illinois on 6/3/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These tomato cages are so easy to use! And they can be stored for many years of productive use.
In addition to tomatoes, several cages in a row can provide good climbing space for vines like cucumbers or gourds. After the gardening season is over, they can be used to keep male deer away from slender young trees as they try to scape the velvet from their antlers. I often use older cages to protest young trees from weed-eater damage at the base.
When collapsed, they keep well in a garage or storage shed and can be re-used many times.
I wish the standard cages could be 10-11 inches taller; otherwise I think they are perfect.

The tomato cages are perfect for what they are designed for, but they are not made as well as they could/should be.

Disappointing as I had hoped to use them multiple times over a few years.

Comments about Tomato Cages:
I think this is a GREAT product. The uses are pretty versatile. Tomatoes, obviously. Also, climbing peas/beans or any other veggies. I would suggest a longer "leg" to push into the ground for more stability. I love the way it folds flat for storage. Fantastic! Can be stacked pretty sturdily also for taller plants.
This is well worth the money. Buy more than you think you'll use because you WILL use them! Whether with stacking or buying more tomatoes than you thought you would! You'll use them.

These are a great idea. I have just put the tomato plants in so I am hoping they will hold up once the plant gets bigger. I like the way they fold up for easy storage also.

These cages are great; this year I've given them to my daughter-in-law as a gift. They kept my garden much tidier, with fewer tomato plants and fruit on the ground.

So easy to install that my husband and I set them up in our vegetable garden one evening in the dark with a slight rain falling. It took less than 10 minutes---including the unwrapping.

Comments about Tomato Cages:
I've used these cages on both my tomato and pepper plants with great success. The only issue I have with them is that sometimess when they arrive they are very difficult to open completely. They've held up very well in all weather conditions and were easy to insert into the ground.

I have quite a few of the cages and towers - probably 30 or more. All of them are rusting at the ends - the towers are rusting at the ends and where the top and bottoms are put together. They are just not galvanized well enough.

from Sacramento, CA on 5/7/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These heavy gauge Tomato cages are truly perfect. I put them in my 30" deep, raised bed, organic vegetable garden to support my "Big Beef" heirloom tomato plants. When the season is finished, they will easily and simply collapse into a nice, compact, flat unit that is easily slid back into its' shipping carton and stored until next year. Have a good, heavy coat of galvanizing so I expect they will last for years.

No more spending re-tieing everything through out the growing season, put them out when your planting starts and walk away. Probably the most wonderful thing since slice bread.

Tomatoes haven't grown to the point of testing cage out completely. Like to look and hope it will replace other things I used in the past.
from Blackwood, NJ on 4/25/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Since it is not quite growing season here yet, I cannot comment on this cages yet. I just transplanted some seedling into bigger pots indoors today so that they are ready for the garden in about 2 weeks (hopefully). In the past the tomatoes got so big that they needed support and the standard cone shaped cages didn't do the job. Hoping that these will.
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Unpacked box and set up immediately on my already growing tomato plants. They slipped right down over the tiny cages that were already in use and successfully supported all of the vines. Appears that they will fold nicely as they came folded. Very sturdy.
from Murrieta, CA on 4/21/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
So far I like this tomato cage better than any that I have gotten in the past. However, my tomatoes haven't reached their full size yet. Curious to see how the cages do at peak harvest. Much better than the cages that come with the tomato success kits!

I purchased 4 of these to use for my tomatoes, and plan to buy more.They are lightweight, but strong, and they fit neatly side by side in the garden. I can get so much more into my tiny space than before! And I love how they fold up flat for storeage.
from Alpena, MI on 4/20/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These are so much stronger than any I found in local stores. When you put them in the ground they stay where you put them. I found the round cages flimsy and then the wire would bend but not these.
from San Ramon, CA on 4/20/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
I purchase more each year as supports for my dahlias, which grow up to 7 ft tall! I train them up through the cage wires and they support the large flower heads with no collapsing even with the weight involved. I have 48 of them now, and two are actually used for tomatoes! Thanks - a great item.

Comments about Tomato Cages:
Although these cages are designed primarily for use in supporting tomatoes. They are also very handy for protecting young and small fruit trees. Or, another plant which you wish to be sheltered from household pets. I have had very good success in using these enclosures for safeguarding all types of plants and young trees.

We just screwed them to the edges of the pot and added a ton of extra growing space.
It is perfect.
from Toms River,New Jersey on 4/6/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These square cages are superior! Not only do they offer sturdy support to tomatoes, but they have worked with cucumbers, beans,and peppers. We love that they can be placed side to side to be more space efficient in the garden.We have also used them to protect rose bushes from our 3 frisky golden retreivers! And,we have used a cage in each garden bed for compost-we set up the cage,and then pull a large heavy-duty trash bag (cut open at the bottom)over it and then just dump in our kitchen scraps each day(vegetable and fruit peelings,coffee grounds,eggshells)all winter long. When spring comes,we pull off the trash bag,lift up the cage,and spread the organic matter in the garden bed.Definitely a garden must-have and the fold-up storage is a plus!
from Manhattan, Kansas on 4/5/2009
Comments about Tomato Cages:
Kansas storms occur all summer long and short, bushy tomatoes can get blown away without a cage. These are great for Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes that rarely get more than 3 feet tall but bush outward.

I am only giving this product a 4 star rating, because this is April and my tomato plants are just now going into the ground. However,I am very optomistic about it's future performance when the plants reach maturity. All of the cages I tried in the past, were very disappointing.

Comments about Tomato Cages:
I have not yet used these cages, but I like the design, sturdiness and quality already. I plan on putting plastic around the outside initially to protect the young tomato plants from the wind so they will serve as a plant protector too.

Comments about Tomato Cages:
These cages were good for growing tomatoes bue it would have been better had they been somewhat taller. As the plants continued to grow, they ended up growing over the top and outward which is what I want to avoid with cages. They are plenty sturdy enough and generally easy to pick tomatoes from.

from Wallingford, CT on 12/1/2008
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These are sturdy, durable cages that succeed in holding up our tomatoes, dahlias and other tall flowering plants. My dahlias had a habit of knocking down their stakes or breaking at the ties, and the cages hold them upright all summer, even in full flower. The cages are well designed, disappear from sight in foliage, and fold up for compact winter storage. I've purchased them several times, even as a Christmas gift for a gardening in-law.

from Free Soil, Mi on 11/27/2008
Comments about Tomato Cages:
These cages are constructed of just the right mil wire size to be sturdy, but also lightweight for ease of setup and storage. I've bought three other brands of tomato cages and they were either too flimsy, didn't have long enough stakes to push deeply into the soil, or were too cumbersome for storage. I even fabricated my own cages out of 4X2 galvanized steel fence wire, but none of these methods offer the easy extension capability of the Gardener's supply cages. Openings are just the right size for reaching through and plucking out the tomatoes as they ripen lower down on the plants. This was difficult to do with other cages I've bought. A few friends told me this past summer "these are really nice tomato cages, much better than the cone cages. Where did you get them?"

As a senior citizen who refuses to give up gardening I am always looking for easier ways to grow more vegetables. Just bought my 3rd tomato cage. With the longer pins they survived strong coastal winds all last summer & the plants seemed to produce longer. Great product

I used these cages alongside the traditional "cone-shaped" tomato cages. The square shape was much more sturdy and stable over the entire summer (despite winds up to 40 mph).
from Denver, CO on 10/16/2008
Comments about Tomato Cages:
My first tomato plant was grown on a narrower support but the plant ended up needing lots of extra support. These cages provided a wider support and were sufficient to get the plants through the season.

Was happily surprised at the strength of the cages. No flimsiness. I live in a part of the country that has 2 growing seasons. The cages are doing a beautiful job of holding up a plant that will purportedly produce tomatoes weighing up to 6 pounds each.
I am confident the cages can support that size fruit. Love the fact that the cages fold for storage.
Good product.
from Badger, MN on 10/1/2008
Comments about Tomato Cages:
This is a repeat purchase as I usually try something first before going more into it. I've found this is definitely a plus up here by the Canadian border in MN where the north wind blows and will be getting more. They're definitely easier for me to store than the circular cages. The only con I found to the cages is that they don't set themselves out in the spring and put themselves away in the fall.
