Our 2022 veranda home came with them across the front of the house. We added them to the rest of the house because we didn’t like having huge waterfalls coming off of our roof in several places during the almost daily summer thunderstorms. But then our home came with many things today’s new homes no longer have, like screens on lanais, ceiling fans, window blinds, etc.
