As an arc/spark catcher, I'd think what's described would work. Things to be wary/aware of, in my experience: top and sides are mentioned, needs a BOTTOM. Grounding is semi nonrelavant, so long as continuity between the wires is maintained. Which raises another thought: Usual 'chain link fence' does not guarantee electrical continuity. Effective faraday cage requires continuity. Some level of continuity is required at 'edge': wall corners, walls to roof, walls to floor/bottom. For effective emi/rfi control the electrical continuity aspects become more critical, and careful, designed handling of ALL wires passing thru the wall.
