Sorry posted that but but now I'm carrying on 
....
Anyway it's worked out at £4.15 per 6metre length. Small supports use 1.5metres ( £1.04 each) and are good for shorter plants like penstemons or phlox. I use 2metre (£1.40 ish) lengths for dahlias. And if I use a 2 x 3metre lengths I can bend these with a really small bend and tie them up the top and use as a clematis support. I have used some 3mtre length on really tall plants like my thistles. But will be using them for my roses this year too.
A friend cuts hers in 5 and bends them in a shallow arch and used them all around the edge of her harden to stop the plants falling on the grass and her mower can get in closer.
