I've seen several lanais with the bamboo roll-up screens. They were used a lot in the Bay Area when I lived there. They do have a tendency to rot out in the sun, but are easily (and relatively cheaply) replaced. One big plus to them is you don't have to have them all across your lanai. They work well in just one corner or area.
