Easy inexpensive solution. Also had a couple of drains installed. They work great.
Yea, I may as well just drag the hose. . I personally don't like the idea of a hose around 3 sides of my home. Would likely be around 125+ feet to where I want it. I guess I'll just keep doing the hose drag routine when necessary.

As for the drains, I had them put in a couple of years ago and for me they are totally useless. Since they have a small "lip" around them there is still plenty of dirt filled water that pools up below the drain opening when I try to power wash my lanai that can't drain out. I end up just sweeping and blowing it out the screen door and through the screens anyway (we have a small lanai). Also, the covers on them became so brittle the plastic hinges broke off within a few months. The do snap on because without them it's a GECKO (yea yea, ANOLE) golf cart tunnel!

Yea, looks like it's time to again power wash the lanai but most all the spots that look like dirt are mostly the paint design speckles on the cement.
