The solo student pilot reported that, after landing, while taxing toward the fuel farm, he decided to maneuver through a partially sectioned-off area surrounded by orange construction cones. While focused on the cones, the airplane's right wing struck a concrete pole barrier surrounding the fuel farm.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right-wing and baggage door floorboards.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
