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.

I saw an interesting shielded room that was empty of obsolete systems
and all the lines coming through through the walls were shielded in some
way but I didn't get too close look at it because I was busy. It was
back in 1988 when I was working for a contractor building the mission
control center for the SDI (Star Wars) program at The Kwajalein Missile
Range now known as Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site. I
loved it out there in The Pacific and would have stayed as long as I
could but left because of nasty smokers who were running things. I
doubt that's happening these days because inhaling the byproducts of
combustion to get a drug albeit legal and exposing others to the poison
some must have a regular intervals has become socially unacceptable. I
couldn't think of going back because age and disability have caught up
with me but damn, I miss the place and the island lifestyle. ^_^
