Jim,

I use rows of t-posts for my many container garden plants.  They come with holes every few inches to hang fencing on.  I string clothesline type wire through the holes at whatever height I need and tie the plants to the wires.  Perhaps you could run a wire the length of your deck for stem support?

Chickenwire cages protect my seedling flats from predators.

And I use those 3' cheapo bamboo stakes all the time too.

I'm amazed at how sturdy some of the baccatums are.  A 5' high Brazilian Starfish might survive a nearby tornado.
