It seems to me a lot of the responses depended on what type of lanai the owner originally had. What size, orientation, size of house already, does it have a roof or is it a birdcage, etc. So, I guess you'll have to take those factors into account and make the best decision you can. Good luck and welcome!

As a follow up, My lanai is just the original screened type. I have a great golf course view and it faces east with a full roof and is 17' x 50', so I wouldn't enclose it. It sits 2 feet above ground level, so mud is not a problem. It is level with the house floor, but pitched away, and I had drains installed in the bottom aluminum rail so it can be power washed. Unless there is and wind driven rain, it only gets wet less than 2 feet from the edge.
Now, if I had a 6x8 birdcage facing west at ground level, I would have done something to improve that.
