We left ours as concrete, use outdoor rugs, only the corners not covered and we have plants or end tables there. About 5 years ago, we enclosed it, wish we had done that sooner. Still see no reason to do anything different on the floors. With the rug, feels more like a room to us and easy to vacuum. My advice would be to get a dark one, as the lighter one we had originally showed stains. Our lanai is small, about 8 x 12, and we have one 8 x 10 rug, a runner on one end mostly under a glider loveseat, and a large doormat fills the space between rug and door. Have had these rugs for about 7 years, think bought large oneat Home Depot and runner at Tuesday Morning. No slipping.
