I just put a decorative fake iron fence outside the lanai door, in the corner next to the house. You can't see it from the street and my neighbors don't care, anyway. I think they like it better than their other neighbors who walk their dog three times a day so they can poop on their neighbor's lawns. I don't know if it's legal, and don't really care. I see lots of patios with some sort of low wall or fence around them. It's basically the same sort of deal.
It's only about 8 x 10, so I have to clean it out every couple of days. I can't imagine doing that from inside a birdcage. Besides, it was easy to teach my dog to go outside through a doggy door, and to not jump the little 3' fence. I can't imagine trying to teach a dog to only go in one spot in a room that must look like "inside" to a dog.
