After purchase, we enclosed our lanai (now a Florida Room) & added a new lanai.

We raised the floor in the Florida room, it feels like it is part of the house.
Raising the floor gives you better rain water protection.
Insulate the ceiling.
We got a second A/C unit, I hate the look of the split A/C venting.

We put a roof over our new lanai.
Love this feature.

If you grill, think about where you will be doing this.
