Narrative:

Upon landing, struck piece of metal. Aircraft swerved and struck metal rods off runway. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following: reporter said there were very high winds in area for 2 days prior to incident and may have caused problem. The airport is non tower. Reporter says some metal rods being used for taxiway construction were probably blown from construction area to the existing taxiway and runway. On roll-out, after landing, his aircraft struck 1 piece of metal--and as he swerved off the runway to a taxiway, struck others. 2 holes were punched into the lower wing, along with some damage to the propeller. It was reported to the FBO right away, and the rods were removed from the runway and taxiway.
