What Is a Lanai Porch?

A Lanai Porch is a covered or screened outdoor living area, commonly attached to the rear of a home, designed to provide shade, ventilation, and protection from insects and weather. Often referred to as a screened lanai porch or lanai enclosure, this space allows homeowners to enjoy the outdoors without direct exposure to Florida heat, rain, or pests.

Unlike open patios, lanai porches create a defined, functional living area that feels like a natural extension of the home.
Lanai porches are ideal for:
Relaxing and entertaining
Dining outdoors
Enjoying fresh air without insects
Creating a shaded, comfortable retreat
