One long roll of thatch. Cut and strap it together and make a "blanket" you can lay over the tent. It won't need to be attached in any way. Gravity. One 50 foot roll should do it. Inside you can do one roll of lauhala and just slide it under the poles. Should stay in place. Depends on the budget, but price that stuff on Ebay etc. Should come in under $200 for sure. Can't say exactly. We gotta do something similar on the beach with high winds!
