My tomato cages are made out of cattle panels with 6" square openings, and the horizontal bars hold branches of the tomatoes as they expand upwards and outwards. If it were not for the horizontal bars the tomato plants would "fall" out of the cages through the vertical bars.

Thanks for the confirmation, OG. I imagined them sliding down the vertical bars but this is all so new that I thought perhaps I was overthinking it! And what a gorgeous photo -- my first thought was "boy, I wonder if I will ever have a garden looking like that"!!!
