THE PILOT STATED THAT HE MADE A NORMAL APPROACH AND WAS ABOUT TO LAND WHEN HE ADDED POWER TO LAND OVER A ROUGH AREA OF THE GRASS STRIP. HE WAS MAINTAINING JUST ABOVE STALL SPEED AND AT MINUMUM CONTROL WHEN A GUST OF WIND PUSHED THE ACFTTO THE RIGHT TOWARD THE FENCE. THE PILOT ADDED POWER BUT TOO LATE. THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN STILL DRIFTING TOWARD THE FENCE. THE ACFT STARTED BACK TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE STRIP BUT THE RIGHT TIP OF THE REAR STABILIZER CAUGHT THE FENCE. WIND WAS GUSTING TO 15 KNOTS.
