I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think you need holes. It depends on use.

Note that "chicken wire" will be completely useless if your problems are due to inductive pick-up(which is very often the case at low frequencies); in order to shield that you need mu-metal shields (with no holes).
A Faraday Cage is a metallic enclosure that blocks external electric fields and electromagnetic waves from entering the cage. This means that any sensitive electronic components, such as precision resistors and DVMs, inside the cage will be protected from external interference.
The ideal material for constructing a Faraday Cage is a highly conductive metal, such as copper or aluminum. These materials have low resistance, which allows them to effectively block external electromagnetic fields.
To design a Faraday Cage for your specific precision resistor network and DVM, you will need to determine the size and shape of the enclosure based on the dimensions of your components. It is recommended to have at least an inch of space between the components and the walls of the cage to prevent any interference.
Yes, pre-made Faraday Cages are available for purchase and can be used for protecting your precision resistor network and DVM. However, it is important to ensure that the cage is the right size for your components and that it is made from a highly conductive material.
Yes, grounding is an essential step in ensuring the effectiveness of a Faraday Cage. This involves connecting the cage to a ground source, such as a metal stake in the ground or a grounded outlet. This allows any external electromagnetic fields to be safely directed away from the cage and its contents.
