The method comprises providing a first support member that is associated or 5 associateable with one of a wire engaging feature and a ground engaging feature, and providing a coupling that comprises a resiliently deformable body and a first passageway in the body. The first passageway has an opening at one end. A first end of the first support member is inserted, via the opening, into and/or at least partly through the first passageway. The first support member resiliently deforms the body 10 during insertion. The coupling is allowed to resiliently retain the first support member. 9638210 i.doc3/23 ~jj~hi 1 0 (a) 32 32 10 45045 1045104 18 18 16 - 16 -- 16 - 16 150 - 150 ()152 -152 150 38 3824K 4 -44 . . . . .
