We have a west facing lanai, with a large birdcage and pool. I would do it again. While the birdcage and pool gets sun most of the day, the extended lanai "roof" keeps out the direct sun during the summer.
We are thinking about adding film to our lanai doors to lessen the heat penetration, but July wasn't all that bad.
The early day sun shining against the garage doors and heating up the garage is more annoying than the afternoon sun out back......
