DIY tomato cages

What happens here

The creator begins the project by setting up a Milwaukee FUEL miter saw on a workbench outdoors. He then cuts the wooden boards that will serve as the main vertical supports, or 'legs,' for the tomato cage. He instructs to cut these boards to a length of 54 inches. Each initial board can be processed to yield two leg pieces after further cutting.

Goal: Prepare the main vertical supports for the tomato cage.

Tools and materials

  • Milwaukee FUEL Miter Saw Milwaukee — Cutting wooden boards to precise lengths
  • Pencil/Marker — Marking cut lines on the wood
  • Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes from debris during cutting
  • Tape Measure — Measuring the length of the boards
  • Wooden Boards — Raw material for the tomato cage legs

What they say

Hide

Stop buying flimsy tomato cages and build one that lasts. So, for your legs, go ahead and cut them down to 54 in. Once you have one of them cut, this one will make two legs. Now, I'm just going to rip these boards in half on the table saw. In my case, they're an inch and 5/8. Okay, now that I got all these boards cut, I'm just going to throw a 45 on the end here so they dig in the ground better.
