We repainted the ceiling high with Sherwin Williams outdoor primer/paint so we will see if the shadows come back.

We have a large (8' by 8') hot tub set for 102 degrees in our screened lanai, for 8 years, no problems. Recently developed a crack in the lanai ceiling away from the hot tube, appears to be due to weather temperature changes.
