I'm wondering because what type of furniture can you put in a lanai if it's always open?

What happens when it rains? Or in hurricane-like weather?

Are you limited to outdoor or waterproof furniture? I also see in the many real estate listings that there are usually fans installed - what happens to these? Are there "outdoor rated" fans you have to use?

Thanks,

Screen in porch. Lanai sounds more cosmopolitan.
