Just had a idea when someone mentioned boat fenders.Make your own. I made a version for my kayak rack so they would roll on the carrier. Mine was horizontal, your would be vertical. Cheaper than boat fenders.
Take small pvc pipe, maybe 1/2", bury it ( them ) in ground along fence, vertical of course. Glue a fitting on it for a stop at ground level. Take a larger pvc pipe, maybe 3/4", insert over the 1/2" pipe. Cover the 3/4" pipe with the soft rubber pipe insulation. If you happen to hit it the 3/4" pipe it will spin on the 1/2", rubber will protect your vehicle. When you are done you could remove the 3/4" pipe / insulation and store inside till next time.
