crw cages require bolt cutters and leather gloves. i like crw but it is nasty stuff and you must be careful. that 50' roll is under tremendous tension so be careful when cutting the links that hold it closed. after that it is just common sense. when cutting the last cut or two, that cut section can move so again i'd recommend long pants NOT shorts, sturdy shirt and i step on both sides to contain it. this may sound like a dangerous task but if you are careful it is not too bad.
i would not stack two 5' sections maybe a 5' and 2.5' and i use 3/8" rebar to anchor them, 2 per cage. my cages are just 5' and when the plants hit 6' i cut the vine. i'm not going to use a step ladder to pick tomatoes besides by the time they get to 6' i don't need more plant i need more growing season to ripen the green ones!
