Added a birdcage
We just added a bird cage. It extended out from the roofed lanai. This allowed us to remove the screening from the roofed lanai walls. We are outdoor people...crusied our sailboat and did the RV thing for about 12 years before moving to TV.
When we open the sliders, which is often, we like the feeling of moving from indoors to outdoors with out any doors. Kewl for us. But bird cages and screened lanais are not for every one as evidenced by all the folks that enclose lanais.
Another advantage is letting the cat have an out door area.
The builder used sun screening for the roof and standard screening for the sides. The sunscreen is very good to knock down the temps and UV exposure. We also have an umbrella for full shade. Our grill is in the cage as well as our dining table so we have most meals there. We will be adding a propane fire pit soon for those cool evenings.
The options are endless to create a comfortable out door living space. But, like I said you have to like the outdoors in the first place.
