The floor is not level so the rainwater that comes through the screens can drain off the lanai floor. My new house had a 2 1/2 inch difference from the side next to the house to the outside edge of the lanai. That is a 2 1/2 inch difference in ten feet. (The lanai is 10' by 30'.) I wasn't aware of this when I was getting estimates to enclose my lanai with glass doors until one of the companies showed me how these lanai floors pitch. He recommended I level the floor with cement when I installed the glass doors. I went with his company. Other glass enclosure companies didn't include floor evening in their quotes as they don't do that kind of work. A level floor is nice as you walk out from your house into the lanai without a step down and the floor is level and your chairs and sofa are no longer on a pitch.
