We enclosed our lanai with large sliding doors, there was a smaller set of sliders from the house to the lanai that already existed. We were told at the time as long as we did not put air-conditioning in the area it would not be considered a room. There is a step down, but not that big of a deal and since then my wife ended up in a wheelchair and I built a ramp. It was the best investment I ever made. We now eat all our meals out there and with the inner sliding doors always open there really isn't much of a temperature difference if any. Do it you won't regret it.
