West facing lanai
ABSOLUTELY!! when my husband and I selected our property that was number one priority!! We knew we wanted a pool in the sun and SHADE on our lanai ALL the time.!! we took the time to find the right property and couldn't be happier. We're always on the Lanai and enjoy the Shade all the time. The back door neighbors are never on theirs because the sun is right on their lanai. But think about When you will want to sit on your lanai. Perhaps in the morning you'll be out doing activities so sun won't bother you. Or will you be out in afternoon so sun wont' matter? If you enjoy sitting outside will it be during dinner hours ? Do you enjoy dining on your lanai. sun is extremely important. I know many people have enclosed their lanai's but to me that takes the joy out of sitting outdoors, enjoying the sound of the birds, fresh air, etc.. Moving down from NY I LOVE sitting outside and not having to deal with the mosquitoes. It's fabulous. But you are right on when thinking about this. Sun Direction is extremely important. Don't let any sales person tell you otherwise.
