Hi Chug,
Really appreciate your desire to only use what will
return to the earth. Tis a difficult question, it has to be a material strong
enough and durable enough to do what you require of it, in this case, hold the
roof on during strong winds, but also not damage the environment.You could use
hemp or sisal rope, which has been used for shipping for centuries, the main
practical problems would be to tie it securely and retie after settlement of the
walls, and to use rope with a high enough tensile strength for the job (so it
doesn't break under strain). I've been thinking of experimenting along these
lines myself, so let me know how you get on, and good luck!
