Hopefully your cushions can take some rain. The ones sold for outdoor use can take a LOT of rain. Our lanai has east and south screens, a little exposure from the southwest. We've found that the east exposure cushions barely need to be moved (most of the time).

I am only there a week in the summer, and remove all the lanai furniture when we are not there (goes in the house or garage). When we're gone for a week more or less, we just put the cushions and lamp inside.

When we are there and it starts raining, or the forecast calls for it, we just put the cushions inside. If we goof and they get rained on, they seem to dry very quickly. Just spread them out in the sun for a while, or to get good air exposure.
