2. Mini split air cond or not? Does it make a difference if you have single or double pane glass?
3. Knee wall or full height sliders? Any troubles with either?
4. Raise the floor or not? (again, not tax talk, I don't care).
I am in Sumter county. Please don't post an opinion if you don't have a glass enclosed Lanais in The Villages

I have had single pane acrylic no mini split floor not raised, hated it. The only thing it would do is keep debris out. Too hot or cold to match the weather.
I have had double pane glass no mini split with raised floor and loved it. It was an Iris and by keeping the slider from the house open did not need a mini split to control temperature the house ac did just fine. The raise floor made it seem like a sun room and the no step made it much safer almost eliminating the tripping risk still a threshold.
Am currently replacing first scenario with dual glazed glass and raising the floor. Put in a knee wall at the end and sliders leading to the birdcage. I will wait and see if the house ac can keep the temperature good before deciding on the mini split.
Hope this helps.
