We purchased our screens from Shade Brothers bc we wanted to use the lanai year round and did not want to glass it it. We love the breeze and sun coming into the house.....that's why we're here in Florida....to enjoy the weather year round.

Yes, expensive if purchased from a good company. We have a Cottage style home w/a lanai of 20 ft long, 10 ft wide, cost about $12K & worth every penny! A Veranda model would run about $60K due to size of lanai.

When it rains, we drop the shades and have little rain on lanai...I enjoy using the lanai all year round!
