Default Tomato cages

I have 5 ft tomato cages but the plants will probably reach 7 ft and
are now falling down. Should the plants be pruned, will this encourage
new low growth or limit it, or do I do what I have done in the past,
sink in a 8ft 1x2 and tie them up. I googled but this I could not find
anything. The best cages I used to have were wire mesh for concrete
and rebar but you need a big place to store them.


Mine are made out of 8' re-mesh as well, w/ 6" spacing between the
wires. I made them differnt diameters so I can store them inside each
other. I can store 12 cages in the space of 4.
