[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1652661, member: 39018"] Rydero, what kind of electric fence are you building with the snow flattening it? Using lighter weight line posts? HT? I've got 3 wire HT everywhere for permanent perimeter including along the highway, some where we get heavy drifting (fence on ditch bank below elevated highway to the west for example). My concern would be for the snow dragging the fence down to the ground and grounding it out... but I'm not concerned about it actually flattening the posts, or breaking the wire or wire to post fasteners. I'm using 1 1/4" fiberglass rod for line posts.

I like fiberglass for end/corner posts too... ([URL='https://powerflexfence.com/collections/fiberglass-rod-posts/products/fp4-5x7-5-fiberglass-corner-post']FP4.5x7 ~ Fiberglass Corner Post – Powerflex (powerflexfence.com)[/URL]).
