We also don't need additional "living" space. We have more than enough without the lanai. Of course that's a personal decision, and you may feel differently. I've seen many lanais enclosed with televisions and additional dining sets, etc. and folks do use them as family rooms sometimes.
We did buy a heater at Sam's that sits on an end table like a big lamp. It throws off lots of heat and does let me sit out and enjoy a cigar on colder evenings.
If it's really inclement, I'd just stay in the house.
I feel the same way. After living in FLA 16 years I love being outside
with just screens.
But to each their own - I can see why people would enclose it - just not me.
