We are putting in full glass stackable sliders for the part of the lanai under roof. We have a birdcage extension. One wall of the lanai will be a full view storm door and two glass windows. Three other sections are stackable sliders. The dimensions of the lanai under roof is 18x26. They have framed it out and will be back in two weeks to finish install once the glass is custom made. Cost is, gulp, little over $9K. Same reasons you stated fumar.... Keep out wind and cold,maintain openness and view, remain usable in summer months with sliders open.

Sounds like a great idea. Do you have any pictures you could post? What home model do you have, isn't yours a very large lanai at 18x26?

Thanks
