In a driving rain you might as well forget about having a clean lanai. We ended up putting in acrylic windows and it was the best money we have spent in the 12 1/2 years we have lived here. When we want the feel of an screened lanai we just slide the windows open. When rain threatens we can close it out in a flash. By adding windows to your lanai you will have a room that you can use more and clean less!
