We recently purchased in TV. Currently we are in Illinois and the only way to find out what's happening in TV is to read "Talk of the Villages."
Does anyone have a ballpark figure on what a small birdcage lanai would cost?

[EdV]

I believe that a lanai (at least in the Florid/TV area) is an open sided patio with a solid roof over it. If you screen in the sides, it becomes a screened lanai and if you enclose it with glass or acrylic, it becomes a Florida room. A birdcage is a patio that is enclosed with screening on both the sides and the roof.

So which of these are you asking about?

I'd like to know the cost of a small birdcage too.

[FrankD]

Screen all the way around including the roof

[EdV]

For a three sided birdcage with a poured concrete foundation and a non slip acrylic floor finish, about $5k.

Thanks for the info

[raynan]

Thank you from me too.

I had mine added on during building and it was about 10" X 12" on a concrete slab attached to the lanai. TV charged us $1500

Hi Frank, we are from Springfield, IL and just moved here. We will close on our home Aug. 3. Let us know if you want to share IL stories. Teri and David

I am envious of the Illinoisans (I don't know if that is the correct term or not) who have already purchased in TV. I made my first visit to TV earlier in July and was quite favorably impressed. When I am shivering and stuck in a snow drift in January I will think of you all basking in in the sunshine and warmth of TV.
