Dunno about lino.

Sheet metal?  (Might be $$)

Wood?  Thin ply or MDF?

Table cloth sprayed with that anti-static stuff?  A bolt of cloth (cotton,
linen) would be cheap & you can teach the kids to sew while you're at it.
Put elastic at the edges, like fitted sheets.

Doesn't totally solve your problem as you still need to connect the cover to
earth.
