#2 If you are happy with your enclosure who did the work?
#3 Do you like having it enclosed or wish you left it open? ( We have a birdcage & nice oudtoor space?
#4 Glass or Acrylic? ( with windows that open of course.)
We are not looking to make an additional room and are not raising up the floor.
1.2 years ago

2. Randa services

3.100% satisfied

4.Went with 18" knee wall with sliding glass and walk out door to bird cage don't have to worry about scratching when cleaning

5. The only thing I wish I would have done different at the time was pour the lanai floor to match height of the house eliminates stepping down

6. I leave sliding doors from house to enclosed Lanai open turn ceiling fan on to circulate air in summer and and in winter I have found no need for any additional heating or cooling source

7. Highly recomend Coolaroo sun shades from Lowes
