Default Birdcage roof

A couple of years ago we looked at putting canvas on the birdcage section of our lanai. One major drawback was that canvas gets mold and other nasty stuff on it, and thus requires maintenance. Then we discovered a company in Mt. Dora, Simplex. They replace the screen roof with - get this - styrofoam. It's thick and sturdy enough to walk on, and can also be shingled. Check it out, it's a great option. If you do cover your birdcage and it gets hot, use a fan.
