Enclosure shape - I've read several articles about the best shape, domed or mansard, but no first hand accounts from people that have dealt with both. I'd think domed would be easier for leaves and debris to blow off of but I don't know if that's a concern or issue anywhere but my mind. It seems mansard is the preferred choice of villagers by a margin of 10 to 1 based on my rough observations.
Screen mesh - Our current lanai screen seems to be standard spacing (I assume 18) and we do get several small flyers passing through. I don't think they are mosquitoes or other biters so its a minor nuisance. Do you think tighter mesh is worth the added cost? Should we (or can we) add solar screens to the top of the enclosure to help manage the suns rays? Solar screens in the southwest are very common to manage the suns rays but I'm not sure this is a good application for that?
Again, I'd appreciate any informed opinions.

Just my opinion, but as long as there is a door, there will be insects. To me, I'd go with what is aesthetically pleasing to you and your fam. Good luck sir
