Narrative:

Pilot was taxiing to park/tie-down when pilot experienced what felt like hitting something with the right main wheel and aircraft veered left, into the fence. Immediate investigation of aircraft and surrounding area indicated nothing on taxiway nor any visual damage to the right main, thereby leading to the conclusion that pilot had inadvertently caught the left wing in the fence which caused the plane to veer left.
