You're putting it in a screened lanai where you can hear your neighbors, smell what they're cooking on the grill, get wet if it's raining, and watch your lanai ceiling fans move during a tropical storm, right? That really does not fit the description of an enclosed area.

An enclosed lanai with glass windows to keep the breeze out would be enclosed. I might be concerned about a lanai that is only open on one small end but enclosed on the other three. If I have to worry about getting wet when it rains and the wind turns my ceiling fans then I'm not worried about a buildup of CO, but that's just me.
