Definitely better solved by not buying a house with a west facing lanai where it can cost $20k plus to enclose it, put ac in, and put in blinds to keep the hot sun out and to prevent baking in your family room. We made that mistake one time! No real concerns about hurricane issues here being pretty far inland and experiencing minimal to no damage throughout TV in the storms that have come through during the 8 years we’ve been here.
