Business jet pilot reported striking a chain link fence post with his right wingtip during taxi alon...

Narrative:

We had just completed an engine run-up for maintenance off of runway 01 at ilg. We were taxiing back to the ramp. I was on a marked taxiway center (taxiway G) line approaching the ramp area. As you approach the ramp; you pass a black chain link fence on your right. Initially the fence is not in close proximity with the taxiway. As you proceed towards the ramp area the fence is constructed at an angle moving closer to the taxiway. In the ramp area; this fence then parallels the taxiway. The color of the fence and the gradual nature that it angles closer to the taxiway the distance from the taxiway somewhat imperceptible. There are no markings or warning signs indicating the distance that the fence is from the taxiway edge. As I approached the area; it appeared to me that as long as I remained on the yellow taxi line; I would have the clearance from obstacles that I would expect. As I approached the point where the fence went from angling toward the taxiway and then parallel; I was about 1 foot to the left of the taxi line. (Farther from the fence than I would be had I been on the line). I passed the point where the fence becomes parallel to the taxiway. The wing on my aircraft is swept and I could not see the wing tip as it approached the parallel section of fence. I was also; at that point; planning my approach and parking maneuver. I was going to follow the taxi line to my parking position. As the wing tip approached the parallel section of fence; it contacted the fence post at that point causing damage to the wing tip area. The mechanic was in the back and nobody was in the co-pilot seat at the time that the wingtip contacted the fence.this fence was constructed approximately 2 years ago. The yellow taxi line was not changed to maintain the appropriate distance from the fence. The only markings on the fence are a couple of blue reflective pieces of tape.

Title: Business jet pilot reported striking a chain link fence post with his right wingtip during taxi along Taxiway G at ILG. The fence had apparently been installed in the last two years and the taxiway center line had not been repainted to allow larger business jets to taxi by safely.
