I could get a 50' roll of lauhala cheap enough to cover everything I want, but then to get it shipped here to TN, that would likely triple the price tag. Bamboo is especially bad. A pole is cheap, but to ship it costs a ton. From Texas may be cheaper then from California or even Florida, but likely not a huge savings. Best bet is to find other tiki fans in your area and go in together on orders and divide up the shipping. Your roll of lauhala may be too much to ship alone, but on a pallette with 3 other people's stuff, it may be okay.
