My balcony tomato cage choice was a total fail

I had to pick between a cheap, flimsy cage from the big box store for $8 or a heavy duty one online for $25. I went cheap to save money, thinking my cherry tomatoes wouldn't get that big. Wrong. After about two months, the whole thing bent over in a light wind and snapped. Lost three plants and a bunch of green fruit. Should have just spent the extra cash from the start. Anyone have a good, sturdy cage brand that won't break the bank?

My neighbor uses old wire fencing from a farm supply store and cuts it into big circles. It looks a bit rough but it's basically indestructible and costs almost nothing.

Gardencraft cages are solid. Worth the extra cash for sure.
