I would like some opinions on how much of a negative this will be and can this be minimized by screening and shading to block out the sun. If you have a west facing lanai, please let me know if this is a serious problem.
Homes are square. One side of your home will face each of the four directions. Our home front is east, so we see the sunrise at breakfast. The lanai, on the back is out of the sun till the afternoon.
