Put up a fence/ Put a fence
Hi
Two kids are conversing. The topic is about a tiger in the zoo.
The first kid asks - Won't the tiger come near us?
The second kid replies - No, it won't. They've put a fence around it.
Is this sentence correct? Or should it be - put up a fence??
Please help.
Thank you.

Both are possible. There isn't a big difference in meaning. Adding the word "up" gives a slightly stronger impression of erection or height, perhaps. You can also say "put a fence up around it".
