Default Water puddling in lanai

I had a problem with water puddling in lanai at the corner of the frame for the screening. Drilling holes wouldn't look very professional and there are businesses that will install a drain for about $55 each. What I did and it took all of 10 minutes is to loosen the bolts that attach the bottom rail of the screening to the floor, pry it up with a large screwdriver or crowbar, insert a 1/16" shim under it and retighten. Now the rail is off the floor and the water runs right out. For the shim use something that won't rust, such as plastic, aluminum, stainless etc. The repair is invisible.
