We covered a portion of our screened lanai with an awning from Sunshine Awnings in Leesburg. They did an outstanding job, and under FL code, it is required to withstand winds up to 135 MPH. It not only gave us additional shade, but it was like adding an additional room onto our home. We have placed some outdoor furniture in that area, and have concluded that it was the most economical way to add useful space to our home.
