At the completion of a local flight, the commercial certificated pilot was taxiing to a parking spot at a maintenance hangar. He maneuvered the airplane toward the parking spot that was bordered by cement barriers. During a turning maneuver, he swung the tail of the airplane to the right, and the outboard end of the right elevator struck one of the barriers.

Probable Cause: A failure of the pilot to maintain adequate distance/clearance from a cement barricade while taxiing into a parking spot after landing. A factor was the presence of a barricade adjacent to the parking spot.
