Default ideas, please - water-proofing the lanaii

We really don't want to close in our lanai and make it another room, we like the lanai being a lanai. With that said, tho, we had a terrible time last summer with the rain coming in the screens and wetting everything. Our clever idea (not) was to install those inexpensive roll down shutters we had on our old homes lanai to block the sun a bit. Well...naturally, when it rains its windy, and this didn't work. Any ideas that anyone else has seen or done, aside from just closing the room in. I've heard of other (very expensive) electric roll down shutters, but not sure we wanna go that route either. HELP!! Am I missing something we can do without selling a grandchild???
