fixing the grill

[Pidginboy]

The landlord told the blacksmith to make and put an iron grill along the wall of the balcony to have a secure stay.

What is the right word there ( in the place of 'put')? I sometimes use 'fix' and sometimes 'set up' or 'erect'?

Fit would do fine too. I'm not sure what is meant by having a secure stay.

I would probably say "install."

You could also use "place" or "affix." I think "set up" would be marginally idiomatic in this specific case. Erect could work, but it sounds "fancy."

 

[gasman]

Build-in could be a possibility.

I like the suggestion of "install."

By the way, a "grill" is a cooking implement, whereas a "grille" is a screen or fence.
I would actually call the kind of iron barrier we're speaking about, the one that might be at the edge of a balcony, a "rail" or "railing."
