Bit of an unusual request, normally it is the grill to remove. A selection will be very difficult, a better way, perhaps, delete the whole area and recreate the grill.

Might go like this.
New layer, Filters -> Render -> Pattern -> Grid set spacing / size / colour / opacity to suit. screenshots: https://i.imgur.com/ffAoH3r.jpg
Deform the grid layer to fit the image: Unified Transform is good for this but you could use Rotate then Perspective Transform. Not easy, take your time. https://i.imgur.com/O3ZoVV5.jpg
Move the grid layer under. Add a layer mask Layer -> Mask -> Add layer Mask (white) Select area and fill in the layer mask. https://i.imgur.com/opoKUpY.jpg

Not the fence the background.
