THE ACFT STALLED, DRAGGED THE LEFT WING AND COLLIDED WITH A FENCE DURING LANDING. A 2ND PILOT WITH LIMITED MULTI-ENGINE EXPERIENCE WAS MAKING THE LANDING. WHEN POWER WAS REDUCED ABOUT 10 FEET ABOVE THE THRESHOLD, THE ACFT STALLED. THE LEFT MAIN GEAR AND THE LEFT WING TIP MADE GROUND CONTACT. THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND TOOK CONTROL AND TRIED TO CORRECT THE SITUATION WITH POWER, BRAKE AND RUDDER. IN SPITE OF HIS EFFORTS, THE LEFT WING STRUCK A FENCE POLE AND THE ACFT ROTATED LEFT INTO THE FENCE. DUE TO THE TERRAIN, A LEFT TURN (DOG LEG) WAS REQUIRED ON FINAL APPROACH, JUST PRIOR TO LANDING. THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND STATED THAT HE DID NOT SEE THE GRASS RUNWAY UNTIL THE OTHER PILOT MADE A TURN TO LAND.
