You people are tougher than we are. We have an east facing lanai, in the shade all afternoon, but we find it very unpleasant to sit outside in the summer when its 95 degrees, so we did not use it all summer. Now that the temps are starting to drop, we have started using the lanai again late in the day, with the fans running. If that lanai was west facing into the sun, it would only be useable about 4 months a year for us, unless there was a shade tree in front to block the sun.
