Check these out, I’m putting this type of floor down in my lanai that is screened in:

Or even using real wood with yearly maintenance of having to roll on a clear coat:

I've thought about this as well, after hearing about the issues with epoxy and the cost of tile. I like the DIY aspect.
My concern was with spilling something on it (like food) that went below the tiles. Water isn't an issue, it dries, but something like grease or soda/beer is going to smell and draw ants/insects. How are you addressing that? Hosing it down won't fully remove any food particles that are captured by the bottom rail of the lanai?
