The reduction of dirt and elimination of bugs in the living space a lanai offers a living space of versatility, ambiance, and an area that will bring your family hours of joy. Because a lanai is enclosed by screen material, we can enjoy the ambiance of the pool and the outdoors without the added nuisance of pests. How important is this? Here are some of the reasons we Floridians love our lanais:
Inside the lanai.
Entertaining
We Floridians enjoy a fun, carefree lifestyle, partially because we have so many beautiful days. It affects the way we live and have fun, even when we are at home. Folks in other states may have to hold a stuffy affair in their formal dining room. But we're in our shorts and flip flops, cooking in our outdoor kitchen while the kids swim and our guests enjoy the breeze, the beautiful day, AND the flat screen tv.
Relaxing
Another benefit of the lanai is open-air relaxing. Without a doubt, there is nothing more soothing than relaxing outdoors, except for relaxing outdoors without mosquitoes as big as drones. Those who wish to read or enjoy other hobbies and crafts can do so without the fear of disturbing others.
Outside the lanai.
Sunlight
Health studies show that those who can enjoy a little sunshine are healthier. Being in the sun produces vitamin D. Low vitamin D has been attributed to many physical and mental health problems, including osteoporosis, depression, cancer, muscle weakness, and death. A lanai offers sunlight without having the sun rays beat down directly on the occupants.
The children and pets
Good pet owners take care to keep their animals close at hand. The lanai could very well be the best place for them to do that. It's also a safe place for children, who seem to instinctively know they can play within the safety of a lanai. Meanwhile, parents don't have to worry about them running off.
Whether a homeowner chooses to turn their lanai into an entertainment mecca, a place to relax and enjoy hobbies, or a place for the pets and little ones to enjoy some much-appreciated benefits of the outdoors, a lanai that is kept in good repair has many worthwhile uses that will bring joy to the whole family.
