I'm using 8' canes but a foot or so of that is under the ground.

5' canes with compensation for sticking in the ground are deffo not big enough  :(

I'vew got some that are about 12' tall, but I don't reckon I could pick Runners from anything more than about 6' - say 7' allowing for the fact that the canes are on a slant, and another foot to stick into the ground = 8' total :)
