You are exactly right. The wider or larger circular wire sits on the
ground. It's a circular pyramid. Also, the wire gauge seemed thicker than
most tomato cages.

I'm a little confused...The cage is big at the bottom and small at the top?
I
see lots of the cone type cages around here that are small at the bottom and
large at the top like ice cream cones.
