Sunnyglade Plant Support Cages 18 Inches Plant Cages with 3 Adjustable Rings, Pack of 3 (18")

When I first took these out of the package and assembled them, which was very easy, I thought they seemed a bit flimsy. Far from it, they are quite sturdy. I planted far more seeds than necessary thinking not all of them would grow but it appears that they have and these plans are growing fast and very heavy. The trellis provides great support and you can hardly even see it's there anymore. These pics are only a couple of weeks apart so I'm glad this trellis made them grow upwards instead of out and all over the place. I would recommend them.

First of all, these are not easy to set up. The way the three upright stakes loop around each circular support makes it difficult to keep them in place as you are trying to set it up. Additionally, it is very difficult to arrange your plant (tomato in my case) through the various supports without damaging the plant. Secondly, the supports—both vertical and circular—are not very sturdy. The point of a plant cage is to provide support to a plant. These are not capable of doing so. In theory, these are cool because they fold flat so shipping them is a breeze. However, the materials used and overall design is not helpful for actual use.

I didn’t measure but they seem smaller than 18”. They were too small to use with tomatoes and cucumbers. The rods slide around the rings for you to place which I thought was clever and novel. It’s not. Because once you place them, they keep sliding around. They’re not sturdy at all. They were just a huge pain. If you want a better way to trellis you’re veggies, consider living trellises like single stalk sunflowers. Or even make a teepee out of cheap wooden craft dowels and tie the tops together. Also remember that you have to slide a good portion of these into the ground. The angle is very awkward and hard to place because the point inward at the bottom. But once you dig them in, you have mayyyyyyybe a foot of trellis left. If you’re lucky. Maybe if you have very tiny plants this will work.

I bought the cages to support my tomato plants. I was shocked to see how flimsy they were, and they were so small! They are very hard to get set up, and I will not use them again. They are far too expensive for what you get.

Amazon does not always keep the comments in order with the product- I find them jumbled. So I will begin by saying this is what my review is for, hoping it will help others knowing what I am speaking about: Sunnyglade Plant Support Cages 18 Inches Plant Cages with 3 Adjustable RingsI had expected I could undo the circle. You can not. So you must slip the entire thing over a plant or put it on a small plant before it grows. I have a bigger plant that needs support inside. Be sure to check dimensions of the circles. I checked height and thought circles would be bigger. Again for a smaller plant. I’m having issues positioning the three sticks so the circles stay up. Again I though there was a way to keep them up but you need to position the three sticks to be taught to make the circles stay up otherwise they slip down all the time and there is nothing to support the plant. If you were outdoors it might be easier also over a smaller plant. I had hoped I could reach the leaves inside but they are long and wide and too big to fit through so I have it over half the plant. It is working but know the positioning of the sticks determines if the circles stay up at all. I would rather turn a clip and make the circles stay where I want them. Being in a pot I’m having a hard time making the sticks taught to support the circles. Had three people help me hoping they would see something I didn’t but it’s still not sitting right. It’s a nice made product with a few design issues for me. Maybe not for everyone. Maybe someone could help me.

Just the right height for my flowers!Love them !

I bought these plant support cages for my tomato plants. I thought the collapsable design would make them easy to store over the winter months. I was disappointed in these cages right out of the box. The wire is of thin gauge that feels flimsy. The height is 18", but the hoops are too narrow to support anything more than a young plant. I thought I would break the cage trying to get the hoops set up. That was it for me. I sent these back for a refund. One star ... though it would be zero stars, if allowed.

I really liked the idea of these. Every year, I struggle to find ways to prop up our peonies, and after finding these this year (with the search term "peony supports"), I thought I'd finally found a great solution (and one that folds flat! Even better). And perhaps they might be... for very VERY tiny peony plants. These would probably work well for a small cherry tomato plant or similar. Part of that was my mistake... I guess over fall and winter, I forgot that 18" would be WAY too small for peonies, and I didn't even bother to look at the diameter of the rings since this listing popped up several times in my peony specific search. Anyway, I still tried to use them, but they actually made the issue worse... For starters, there's no mechanism to keep the rings and stakes in position (you could probably rig up some tape or something to keep the rings from moving around and pulling the stakes together, but it seems like a design flaw to not have a way to sort of snap them into place). Also, a COVID shipping delay meant the plants were way too big once I finally got these, but I was still determined to use them, so I tried to make it work. The stems of the heavy flowers wound up just bending even more aggressively over the wires of these cages than they had with the tomato cages I used last year. In the end, I had to remove them from the plants and start over (which was not easy... so another design suggestion might be to make it possible to not only stabilize the ring-stake orientation but also to pull the rings apart if necessary. They're just crimped together with a piece of metal, so it seems like that could be an easy upgrade to the product.)I was hopeful, but ultimately, I should've listened to the other reviews... I felt compelled to write this because I do think these could have potential with a few changes, and a choice of a much larger option.

This product was so bad ( cheap, nasty, difficult to manage ) I seriously considered returning it .
