Much more significant, over those wire made junk and yes even the Made In America, variety!

Stakes are attached to upright by way of 1-5/8" deck screws.

All are now built. This photo shows four fewer, that what I made.
A total of 17 were built. I might construct, yet another for my Goji tree.

Here's one I made for my wife's plant. Didn't have to be as strong as yours, just a flowering vine. Of course had to have our fleur de lis.

Those cages look like stockades in a town square. Those tomatoes will rue the day that violated the law! LOL

Extramile, I perused through your various projects and am really impressed. I'm just getting turned around and reset up in my garage and you've provided a lot of inspiration.

Thank you! And for your listening pleausure... (well worth pulling up on Youtube or some such for a live concert version)

There ain't nothin in the world that I like better
Than bacon and lettuce and home grown tomato's
Up in the mornin, out in the garden,
Git ya a ripe one don't get a hard un'

Thank you, kindly.
It is a must for me.
I lost my job in Feb 2014. ExtraMile Customs, is my bread and butter. I have yet sold a splinter.

Although, I have just located my first consignment shop!
The Log Cabin Store, in Kittanning, PA.

I would consign, closer to home, but city folks can be so hard to deal with. So I often, head to the North country. More laid back, attitudes and or atmosphere.
