There are a few problems with your sentence, none of them render it necessarily incorrect, but still should be considered.You can either:A) jumpthrougha fence = this you would do if there's a hole in the fence which you are jumping through, for example by executing adive rollB) jumpovera fence = this you would do when you are actually jumpingoverthe fenceAnother thing you should consider is the use of the article preceding thefence.Ifthe fencehas been already mentioned somewhere in your text and the reader already knows what fence you're talking about, you would say:He jumped through the fence.If it'sa fencewhich has not been mentioned beforeand you are simply talking aboutanyfence which was blocking his path, you would say:He jumped through a fence.The last thing you should consider is that fences are meant to stop trespassers, therefore from their very nature it's unnatural they have holes in them for people to jump through, which makes it pretty awkward to say a person jumpsthrough a fence. If you want to use the wordthrough, you should prepare the reader for the fact that there is a fence with a hole in it by describing the fence before the person jumps it through andthenmarking it asthe fence. For example:As he was running across the street deciding what his next step would be, he noticed a fence with a rather big hole in it. He jumped through the fence and walked to the parking lot.If you want to stick to your original sentence as much as possible, stick to it, it's grammatically correct, just consider what I wrote above.
