Just make sure everything is electrically connected to everything else
and you're golden. If the floor is non-metallic you might need to do
something there...

Are you going to use battery power? Are there any wires going from
inside to outside? Any wiring for lights, etc. Will have to be
filtered or else you have defeated the cage. Any windows? Any air vents?

Are you trying to avoid static electricity or are you trying to
contain rf energy?

A Faraday cage is not a trivial project.

Screened Rooms are a whole industry.
There are filters for air, water, electricity and whatever you can
AFFORD. :-?


I've worked in/on places like that, they use fiber for all the comms
that pass through the metal shield. Not sure how they handle the one
big honkin AC power line that by necessity goes through the shield. The
nice lady in the camo uniform wouldn't let me wander off and look at
stuff, although other than that she was friendly and pleasant.
