(the idea we stole from the Aspen, which was our original choice) I would love to be able to add width to the Lanai, but since we cannot, Could I please get some feed back from you guys about the usability of the standard 8 ft lanai?
we are able to do a 2 ft side stretch on the guest, LR and Lanai side so the Lanai will be 30 ft long and 8 ft wide. Sounds like a bowling alley or dog run....
I am hoping to have a narrow, (oval maybe) outdoor dining table and 6 chairs, at the DR end of the Lanai and a rattan type patio sitting area with loveseat, 2-4 chairs, coffee table end tables etc. on the LR end.
Does this sound like it would work? I would love to see photos of how you have used your 8 ft lanais.
Any suggestions appreciated!!
TIA!!

Our Begonia is under construction as we write YAY! Same floor plan as Sunflower. We added a slider from MBR to lanai. We also did the 2ft side stretch on the BRs/LR /guest bath. And, 4 ft wide on garage. (we were lucky and able to do 2' on the back also.)
We walked thru many models with an 8 ft lanai and it was fine. We (certainly) wanted a2' or even4' back stretch but would have taken the 8'. Arrange it in sections, it won't look like q bowling alley -unless you add pins and a ball return.
