My favorite tomato trellising is to run two rows of "T" posts, one post every 8', to which 16' cattle panels are tied with decomposable twine.  The height above ground that the lower edge of the panel is set and the space between the two rows of panels can be selected according to the variety's habits.  Tucking outside growth  back in a different grid opening takes little time and secures the plants to the wire grids.  The panels used up off the ground should last forever.  The openings are amply large for reaching through.  The lighter weight variety of the panels is adequate.
