Mornings on a western facing lanai are lovely for sipping coffee.

We did not enclose our lanai because we do love having outdoor space. Having a covered area for the grill is a must as I can still grill when it is raining.
Agree, (our lanai faces just north of west) mornings are great out there, today it was 75 at 6:30 AM comfortable to have coffee, went back out around noon to take a break 83 and still very comfortable with no sun. The sun starts to come in one corner of the lanai around 4:00 and it's too hot to sit comfortably out there until around 7:30 so we only lose 3-1/2 to 4 hours or use per day. Those times will change between now and June 21 but we will still have the same amount of comfortable time.
