Go to Supacheap Auto or similar look at cheap 4wd winches..$200 on a good day, maybe less, pulls 2000 lbs but the big feature is you get all your cables, controls etc which saves you heaps.
I have two which pull a 3.8 x 3.8 mt roof ...needed two because actually makes cabling easier plus there was no way I could get a "drum" system to be reliable...it ended up slipping no matter what...so now they both pull on each corner..have to rewind and reset but the advantages are worth the extra mucking about...as I said think what is in your package...you get......the following:-
Winch, electrical cable to hand controller, power leads to battery ( or 240 to 12 vlt unit ..plus why not leave a battery in the system ..for heater or a light ..whatever) stainless steel cable to drag the roof ... its the cost of all the little things that get to you plus usually compromising on this or that...
Good luck and get started.
