I leave mine up, and usually turn off the charger in the snow.
Walk all the fence lines and tighten/repair as necessary after snow melts.
Unless limbs fall on it, it’s usually minimal.

Quick question-those of you that have interior HG tape, do you leave it up in snow? I’ve read of a few people that take it down every winter for the snow (!). What is your experience? We get several feet of snow,…I see us turning the voltage off during winter, since part of the fence will be snow covered, but DH is concerned. How do you handle it in snow? Come spring, is it totally sagged and pathetic (needing repairs) due to snow sitting on it?[/QUOTE]
I’m in Minnesota. We get a lot of snow. I do NOT take my HG down. I do tighten everything up in the Spring, but unless something hits ours, it doesn’t really sag.
FWIW - our snow doesn’t really “sit” on it. When we have a wet heavy snow, the tape might get a coating, but that doesn’t last long.
I leave mine as-is in the snow. The horses still get turned out in there (if no ice) and I’ve had no problems with it whatsoever.
Fantastic-thank you all for the reassurance! Whew.
