Do not try to insulate the garage or the lanai. The builder only insulates the living areas. You will not be able to cool down the garage. There is little or no insulation in the garage walls. In the summer, when it is 90 degrees outside. If you touch the inside walls, you will see how hot they are. It is like a sauna in the garage.
Throw away your old stuff. Do not store it above the garage. Plastic and rubber material will surrender to the heat. If the stuff was important to keep, you would store in an air conditioned space.
