We moved from Michigan almost 4 years ago and still like our east facing screened lanai. We did install blinds on it which enables us to sit out there in morning with no problem. Even in the afternoon heat or evening, when you put fan on, its comfortable. We dont need more sq.ft.in our house to add enclosed lanai as of yet. We moved to Florida to enjoy the weather. We have outdoor furniture out there, so no problem with weather. We dont use it as much when weather gets real cold or if rain is coming from east. We have a tv out there so use it quite a bit. We looked for a house that the lanai does not face west. Have seen some beautiful enclosed lanais but not what we want at this point.
