I'd appreciate some Lanai "remodeling" opinions from the many among our participants who've enclosed (partially or otherwise) this important and beloved space.

We enjoy our Lanai in our new Cottage Hammock, but are exploring options to enclose it in such a way that allows maximum fresh air when we want it, yet protects our furniture from the elements when we're away or the weather is rough. Any way we go, I know it's going to be a compromise.

I'm particularly concerned about heat buildup when it would be enclosed by whatever slider options we'd choose. How would this be vented? Even with a roof vent (solar powered) we would still have to have fresh air intake somewhere or we'd be pulling a vacuum and possibly damage the vent fan.

Thanks in advance for any opinions!!
