A long time ago, Villages Kahuna, the original one with the beard, made a statement that he thought that since this is Florida and the weather is so nice most of the time, that he thought adding to your lanai space was a good thing and that thought stuck with me.
I know a lot of people who enjoy their enclosed lanai, but I am one who likes the breeze and watching the rain from a screened area and eating outdoors with the screen. I think Swimdawg has an excellent lanai for both.
I feel so blessed to have the nice screened lanai that we have and I don't think either of us want to enclose it.
We face neighbors in the back but were lucky to have some space between us. We have a fountain just outside of the lanai that is so pleasant to hear and the roses blooming. EVEN today when we are cozily tucked inside.
