You do need a way to get them home or you have to cut them up at the store.
We love the tomato cages we made from left over sections; they don't break at the welds when you are putting them/taking them out of the ground, they are heavy duty enough to support the very large (paste) tomato plants we grow, and they don't start rusting after one growing season.
My son puts one end in the back of a pickup truck bed, then pushes the other end until it's like half a hoop, and drops it in the back of the bed. Rides just fine like that with a rope thrown over the top...LOL!! Springs back to flat when you take it out.
I use a couple of short (maybe 5') sections to keep dogs visiting my house from jumping into the lake and running around the end of the fences; I just anchor the short pieces with T-posts along the shore. A determined dog will have to swim around the end to escape. Mine have been taught to stay in our yard - it's visitors I keep in or out, depending on whose house they're visiting
