  • Patent number: 10329794
    Abstract: A fence post having an eyelet with wire capture structure to capture a fence wire passing through the fence post and prevent it from escaping once the fence post has been inserted into the ground. Tension is applied to the fence wire during insertion of the fence post into the ground, the wire being restrained from passing through the eyelet once the lock bar has been allowed to fall into a closed position. This then ensures that each length of wire is restrained in place under tension.
