I looked at how the houses on my street were built and they all slop towards the road or towards a depression which runs between homes, I assumed for when it rains heavily. The water is directed away from the homes. To me it looked like excellent design.
That is correct, but when you enclose the lanai with windows, you no longer get rain water on it.
