In my case it is a single, conducting panel that has feed-through coax connectors and surge protections for all other wires coming through the panel. I plan to use gas discharge for signaling and 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.
