If you do not put in a bird cage you will be missing one of the more significant attributes of the FL lifestyle.
Total (almost) bug/creature free environment to enjoy the spring and fall (and some winter) outdoor living.
Allows opening windows and doors during those times with or without screens.
There are some nice potted plants to make the area more personalized that one would not put in the house.
Once we had our lanai expanded we put as much bird cage as the easements and codes would allow....complete width of the house and irregular geometry across the back to follow the lot line.
With our pool and hot tub we use the lanai/bird cage area more than 75% of the time.
Do your homework to be sure you do not miss a major lifestyle opportunity.
Good luck.
