While I use concrete wire cages for most of my tomatoes, I also use the standard tomato cages in a few places. You can purchase different sizes at different stores. Some have three legs and some have four legs. The large varieties with four legs are the most stable and they can be used to any height you want by using one normally on the lowest level and turning the next one upside down on top of the first one. I have them up to eight feet tall with a single steel T post driven into the ground with the cages wired to the post for support. I like them because they are much easier to store for the winter than the concrete wire cages.
