NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot said that he was taxiing to his hangar with the airplane's nose wheel on the centerline of the taxiway. The airplane's left wing struck a temporary construction fence that had been moved onto the edge of the taxiway. The left wing leading edge was damaged approximately 6 feet in from the wingtip and the left aileron was separated from the wing.
