Is there some good basic wisdom from you all?? I know everyone is different but is there any general consensus? I would think that due to the heat that we would need an enclosed lanai to be able to spend time out there most or all of the year. I know I sound like such a rookie but we really are perplexed. Thank you in advance!!
I love my screened in lanai. I love the fresh air. If you close it in, it is not a lanai anymore. It is just another room.
