The pilot stated that he was taxiing to park and a visual illusion caused the fence to blend into its background and other fence behind it. He said he was distracted, and did not make a specific check of the wingtip to ensure proper clearance, and the right wing of the aircraft collided with a fence, causing damage to a rib in the wing.
Probable Cause: the pilot's improper visual lookout, which resulted in the aircraft colliding with a fence.
