Our lanai faces directly east. This time of year when it is 70 degrees in the morning, it is comfortable all day long. In the afternoons when it is 90 degrees, it is in the shade, and we run the fans and it is not too hot. In the winter, it is too cold to be out in the morning regardless of direction of the lanai. In the afternoons during the winter when things warm up, we have fixed up a sitting area in the front of the house which gets the afternoon sun, and it too is very comfortable. We had friends who sold their house with west facing lanai. They said it was brutal in the afternoon sun and made the lanai un-useable.

Isn't it still warm in the shade when it is 90 degrees? Honestly, the only time I'm outside when it is 90 degrees is when I'm swimming in the pool. That's it. I do not golf because of the heat but that's just me.

It is, but I've been in at least one west facing lanai home where there is practically no shade in the late afternoon.

We have shades just inside the screen on our lanai, so when the sun is a problem, we lower the shades. The shades cost $3K and they are well worth it. |

I lived on a private country club golf course for 13 years and would never do it again, there is absolutely no privacy on your lanai if there is a cart path in front of it, even worse if the tee box is near. People would actually walk over to our deck and ask if I could give them a beer, throwing trash on the ground that would end up in our yard, constant foul language and even urinating on the tee area, more than once I called the police for that dirty trick. After 13 years I had enough. A west facing lanai is nothing compared to living on a golf course.
