I've never seen any cages like that, but these Glamos cages <A
HREF="http://www.camden-industrial.com/supply/webSession/store/dept-9/departme
nt/dept-9/item/91700/icn/20-902981/shopper/CI961079889-50617/glamos_wire/73200
9.htm">GLAMOS WIRE TOMATO TOWER 46X24</A> will fit around a pot up to 16
inches in diameter. For pots larger than that, you can stake the cage right
into the pot's soil. Also, you can wire a second one on top if the tomato
grows larger than 4 feet tall.
Another (and probably better) alternative is to make your own circular
cages out of concrete reinforcement wire and then put that around the whole
pot. A disadvantage is that storage is not as convenient in the winter.
Sorry that I was unable to help with the pyramid cages.
Good Luck...
