The last roof I had was all natural and began rotting after about 1.5yrs and was bad by 2.5yrs.

With the low height of the screen room, I'm not able to put a strong pitch on the roof, which means it collects more water than normal, rotting faster.

The artificial thatch should last 12-20yrs, so I figure the effort spent now will save me the cost and time of rethatching three-five times.
