A moulded fencing-wire support made of electrically non-conductive material, including an elongate support member (101), and an open ended loop (202) made of a length of material bending around to double onto or cross over itself resulting in opposing sections having a gap (208) between them to permit passage of a wire into the centre of the loop in use. The length of material forming the open ended loop extends from a first end of the elongate support member in a first direction before bending around above the first end. Each opposing section (204a, 204b) includes a surface (210a, 210b) facing the other section, and at least one of the surfaces (210a) is substantially planar.
