Is this normal? I'm not too keen on going out and sitting underneath all of that wildlife, especially if they populate. It seems to me that it should seal somehow or otherwise when it rains it could get a little crazy, as things try to take cover.

I'm going to ask the installer today but I wanted to see if anyone else had this issue.
We haven't considered an awning top because of the very strong winds that can suddenly pop up around here.

We have had a couple of rains after a long dry spell and find the pool and deck area are laden with teeny, tiny, iddy biddy bugs, some still alive and well. There were so many a week or so ago that it shut down our pool filter. They obviously all fell through the screen ceiling. Anybody else have this happen?
