Yes Jim, the "single point" is not really a single point. In my case it is a

MOX for power (Done that before with good result. Yes, it was tested with real 
lightnings.). The panel will be connected all around its perimeter  to the shield.

Metal window screen works well into the GHz range
It'd be a bit more pricey than foil. With foil, I'd use the heavier stuff. It more effective and not as fragile as the stuff we normally have in the kitchen.

My shop / ham shack is completely lined with bonded barn metal.
