Many want a linai in the traditional sense not a 4 season porch. There is a difference
I agree. I love my outdoor space in the fresh air. I BBQ on the lanai, under the roof. I enjoy being able to BBQ in the rain and my food and me stay dry. The BBQ is placed so it is just protected by the roof. So far, the roof has remained pristine with no evidence of BBQ smoke on it or the surrounding stucco of our home

We do not sit outside in the heat of the summer so the lanai for us during those months is not usable. That is the downside to an open air space.
