That is excellent information, Dan. Thanks for posting it.

That's what I use for my cages and it works great. I got it by the roll and counted 10 squares and then cut it, rolled it up and secured it with either wire or rolled the remaining wire around itself.

I got mine for free at a new home construction site where they were doing concrete work. I have about 12 now and I'm always looking to make a few more. They work great for Tomatoes.....they also work great for cucumbers, beans peppers or any type of vine type plant. After you make them into circles you can cut them in half to add to the height to other cages making them taller if you need to. They even work good to hold a trash bag when you are doing yard work.

On a side note make sure you wear gloves, safety glasses and long pants and shirt because when it springs back after you cut it it can/will puncture your skin. A lesson I learned the hard way after the 1st one I built. After that one what I did was leave the 2 ends to cut last. Seriously folks, this material is great but it can hurt you even if your careful.

***WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AT ALL TIMES WHEN YOU WORK WITH THIS MATERIAL***

Was the free remesh a five finger discount? Just kidding.

I asked the guys who were working on the job site if I could have it. Of course none of them spoke English and none of them stopped me. I guess they were afraid to call the police because they might have been sent to INS. ;-)

I use something similar for my maters. We pound in a metal post at each end of the bed and make a z type pattern with the wire (someone has to step on it to bend it!)
Each mater goes into a corner of the fencing and is connected to the fence with plastic clips.
It keeps everything very neat (as neat as maters can be!)
