I would think most people that do close up their lanai’s with some kind of protection from thieves & weather. We have a family member in Napel, FL. that have remote control metal walls or curtains that come down from the top of their screens to protect their home from one thing or another. It’s like that for 6 months a yr. & no problem at all. I never heard anybody ever say that they’ve had any problems just to leave as is. It might be cheaper to hire someone to do a walk around once a week. Or have cameras put in or TV police would probably be more than happy to check on your house while you’re not there. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
