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,

You use Outdoor furniture because if it's opened it's outdoors. ... there a many places who sell many types of outdoor furniture that is made for use .... outdoors. Prices go from Walmart cheap to million dollar home expensive.
If it rains and is windy, it gets wet then it dries or you dry it off with a towel. Sometimes dirt blows in, same thing goes, wipe it off or pay someone to clean for you.
Hurricanes: if one is "predicted" I turn the furniture on the side or upside down if I can and hope my insurance covers what ends up on my neighbors :screen in lanai"
You can tell from that ours isn't "million dollar home" outdoor furniture.
Fans: When we moved in to our home 3+ years ago it had a fan in the "screened in lanai" and it worked perfectly fine with no blade "drooping." I did change it because it was filthy dirty from 11 previous years of previous owners not cleaning it.
