We have a Laurel Oak with a large lanai (52 by 16) that faces directly west and we love it.

As to be expected, we gets shade all morning long as we sit in our lanai and enjoy our coffee. If the sun is too harsh in the afternoon, we pull down the shades which block the sun very effectively. In the evening, my wife and I have a contest to see who can be the first one to spot Venus. We also enjoy watching the sunsets.

We have been in our house for 1.5 years. I can't imagine us ever wanting to enclose our beautiful lanai.
