Default Water on the lanai
Anyone else have a problem with rain blowing thru the screens and pooling in the lanai? It seems to be worse now that we have tiled the floor. Possibly it seeped under the bottom aluminum rail before, but now is dammed by the rail. I'm thinking about removing that bottom rail and instead installing flat aluminum stock (1/4" thick by 2" wide) with the screen tucked under so that the tile will now be slightly higher than the new aluminum, allowing the water to flow out. Any thoughts (other than windows)? Thanks! Unfortunately I can't try my "fix" until January when I return.
