Built the house in 2019. Builder had some weird requirements (talk to design specialist) that included a 6 foot overhang past the end of the lanai (maybe to reduce warranty calls on water coming in ?) if we went with the glassed in option. So we went with screens, knowing they would be thrown away soon after move in. We had the concrete slab of house and lanai extended 8 foot in back and 6 foot on side for future outdoor use. No step down. We used Custom Windows of Leesburg to put 12 sliders where the screens were. Got on their list early in process so the a couple months after move in we had a nice almost 500 sq ft room. Added a ceiling split and shades shortly after. Downside ? I would have liked to have a couple of electric boxes put in the floor during build, but code wouldnt allow it. So I used what little wall space I had to put in exterior level duplex outlets. Of course, lanai ceiling was insulated as well.
