Default Faraday cages in workshops

I've got this brand new shed which I'm kitting out for eventual use as a workshop - for now, it'll be a shed but I've decided to insulate it and put up white hardboard interior walls to make it more light inside when it attains its eventual role.

When I install the insulation, the idea is that it goes like this:

outside wall->vapour barrier->insulation->retainer->hardboard.

The thought occurred that I could just use nylon fruit nets to keep the insulation in place, then I considered that if I used chicken wire I could earth it and use it as a Faraday cage - which, considering that most MW alignment points coincide with powerful "locals" round here might not be a bad idea. The only down-side as I can see is the need to extend the wire to the floor, ceiling and hope that too much RF doesn't stray in via the window/door - or am I wrong here? Perhaps someone with more RF knowledge than me could advise on the matter - or even if it's worth bothering with?
