The pilot arrived at his destination in the Piper PA-32-300 and found that the landing strip had not been mowed. He then diverted to a nearby 1,650 foot long grass field and set up for an uphill landing to the east. During the final approach and landing he 'allowed the plane to float using too much ground roll for roll out' and aborted the landing. During the initial climbout the aircraft's right main landing gear and left outboard wing underside impacted several fence posts. The right main landing gear wheel and strut separated from the aircraft and impacted the leading edge of the right horizontal stabilator. The pilot was able to continue the climbout, after which he successfully landed the aircraft.
Probable Cause: The pilot's delayed go-around, which resulted in the aircraft not clearing the fence posts. A contributing factor was the fence posts.
