You do not need any of them for EMC. Do as you deem necessary for electrical safety.

We plan to layout a L shape ground plane in the 24' x 18' area for ESD, etc. tests. The corner of the L shape is right next to a 10" wide building collar. Is a ground strap tied to the collar good enough? Do we need (copper) ground rods? If yes, what is the minimum length (deep)? What is the recommended space between rods? How to choose metal sheet material (galvanized steel, stainless steel, etc.)? When weldering the metal sheet, is there anything that need to be cautious? Thank you very much and look forward to your help.
