Default Spraying out your enclosed lanai? How do you get rid of the water?
Although we haven’t yet talked to a contractor regarding enclosing our lanai, I am curious to hear from fellow Villagers about how they keep their lanai clean. We used to live in New Mexico and we had an open (no screen) lanai on the back of our home. Almost weekly, I sprayed off the tile and was able to easily squeegee off the dusty, dirty water on to the lawn. Here in Florida, all screened lanais have a bottom rail attached directly to the concrete. Obviously, dirty water can’t get underneath that bottom rail.

Has anyone heard of, or seen, weep holes through that bottom rail with some sort of removable gate that can be used to direct water through? Or is mopping the solution? Curious to hear all ideas. Thanx in advance.
