Abstract

A fence post for retaining a wire to form a wire fence. The fence post comprises an elongate fence-post body (12) having a ground embeddable portion. A plurality of channels (26) extend into the fence-post body (12). The channels (26) are contiguously open in three directions so that a flexible elongate element is receivable into the channel (26) and extendable through the fence-post body (12).
