What I did with the stock fencing to make cages is snip the required length off (circumference of the pot minus a bit so it fits in) leaving one end with open ends, then used some pliers to fold a bit of the ends in to a U shape so that it can latch on to the non-open ends.

Uhhh...that sounds confusing so I have provided an artist's impression...

TMTT My thoughts exactly. Your explanation was superbly clear.  That way you could unhook them if necessary.

Thanks Garrett,  I'll also keep an eye out in Aldi.
I’ve got a couple of those Aldi ones too. And will be looking to buy a couple more once they’re available again.
