I have never seen outdoor rated BLINDS, I have seen outdoor rated SHADES. There are a few vendors in the Daily Sun, I would try calling them to see what they have available. As for motorized, I would suggest installing on the inside of the lanai frame as this will tend to protect the motor and any electronics. NOTE: there is a steel beam just below the stucco, I have found out recently the SDS drill bits will actually go through the stucco, the steel and the concrete, and I recently did this. If you decide on a DIY project, I have a suitable drill and 1/4 inch SDS bit, so I could help with the mounting of these.
