You visited in May and it was probably really hot then. Some winters weeks are quite cool, and you may enjoy some sun on the lanai. Extending the lanai will offer you protection from the sun, provided you extend the roof. If you extend the lanai by building a birdcage, there are covers and awnings that will offer sun relief.
