About Lanai
A lanai drawing shows the roof structure and how it ties to the house, the columns and footings that carry it, and the screen or door openings in its walls. Scope usually turns on whether the lanai is new, being re-screened, or being enclosed as interior space. Lanai records are frequently paired with screen enclosure, pool and patio headings.
