This product is not about doing it cheaper. It is all about doing it better. For me, the cheap wire cages are nearly useless because many of my plants get very large. The cages made from wire rolls work great but the rust and become a storage problem during the off season.
Before coming up with this idea, I tried making the square version using all off-the-shelf parts. That version actually cost more to build because it took many more parts. Also, the triangular shape is more stable than the square.
If you grow a lot of plants, there are ways to use two Tomato Triangle cages so that they will support up to six plants. You can see examples on the web site.
Yes, this solution costs more than the cheap cages but it is a very flexible system that works very well and will last for years.
