If you don't enclose it with double pane glass you won't be using it from mid-afternoon until sundown during the summer. Without the insulated glass if it's 95 outside it's going to be 95 or hotter on the lanai with shades and even hotter without. You will have an east facing garage, you won't believe how hot it will get in the garage as soon as the sun starts shining in early morning if you have your door opened. You will however really enjoy your west facing lanai in the mornings with coffee or tea and early afternoon. Your neighbors across the street will be just the opposite so it all depends on which half of the day you want to use your Lanai.
