A lanai is an outdoor enclosure designed to let people enjoy nature’s beauty without dealing bugs, wind, or rain. However, these aren’t the only benefits of adding a lanai to a property. Today, we’ll explain why any homeowner should consider building or rehabbing a lanai.
Lanai expands property space
Adding a lanai is like adding another room to a home. It expands the living space and allows homeowners to enjoy the garden view year-round comfortably. Homeowners can also decorate this area in a way they would not be able to with an open, outdoor space.
Lanai adds privacy
While a lanai doesn’t block the view, it can provide homeowners a sense of privacy. However, even a lanai constructed from clear glass may be hard to see through from a distance due to glare.
Lanai raises property resale value
Lanai designs vary, and homeowners can improve the home's overall aesthetics by adding a tasteful enclosure that fits the home’s style. Since a lanai expands the home’s living area, it can noticeably raise the property's resale value. That’s especially relevant for properties built in areas with beautiful views. The initial cost of a lanai enclosure is significantly lower than what it may add to the home value.
A perfect place for parties
Backyard parties are fun, but they are very dependent on the weather. A lanai enclosure lets the homeowners enjoy family evenings, barbeque, or cocktails with friends outdoors regardless of environmental conditions. Plus, the guests will also welcome the added sense of privacy.
Lanai extends outdoor furniture lifetime
The lifetime of patio furniture tends to be relatively short due to constant exposure to rain and sunlight. A lanai protects outdoor furniture from environmental damage and keeps it clean, saving the homeowners time and money in the long run.
Lanai keeps insects out
Lanais were invented in Hawaii with the main purpose of enjoying the views without being annoyed by insects flying around. That’s true – nothing ruins time outside like mosquitos and bugs stinging you or falling into your food. A lanai eliminates this inconvenience entirely.
Lanai is a great place for winter garden
Many plants won’t grow outside year-round, and a lanai provides homeowners with an opportunity to arrange a beautiful winter garden full of vegetables and flowering plants.
