Default enclosing the lanai

Hi, I am also new to the Villages. I am also thinking of enclosing my lanai and wondering whether you went with glass or acrylic. Some say glass was marginally more expensive but the quotes I have received were substantial increases for glass. In fact some of them glass was double the cost of acrylic.

I am a snowbird and one of the main reasons for enclosing the lanai is so that I do not have to pack away the furniture, etc. during the summer. This brings me to my second question - if the lanai is enclosed without opening for the entire six months which include summer, what is the humidity going to do with the lanai?? Will it make the lanai full of mold and mildew?? Any comments from anyone on this aspect??
