I, too, use the ones made from a 30 ft roll. I make mine a bit larger than recommended so I end up with about half a would be cage left over. My cage material also came from Sears, and I waited for sale time to get a bunch of fibre-glass cage posts which keep the cages secure. The galvanizing on the cage wire seems ok through two winters of outdoor storage. Caged tomatos are not quite as early as staked, but much easier to take care of.
