Part 4- Lanai, Other Considerations
Fireplace, Fire Pits, TV's, Misters, Summer Kitchen
Fireplace- Lots of options here. Most homeowners install a prefabricated one but make sure it's stainless steel. Regular steel fireplaces rust, especially if you have a pool as the chlorine will attack the metal. Another option is a modular, non-metallic fireplace. Isokern, makes a great product but it's a bit more expensive than a prefabricated one.
http://earthcore.co/isokern/Fire Pits- have become very popular but they take up floor space. If you go this route make sure a gas line is installed before you set your flooring materials.
TV's- are most often installed above an outside fireplace. Make sure you plan for a way to keep the TV dry.
Misters- provide a cooling effect for occupants but I understand the ladies complain that it messes with their hairdos. http://ezmister.com/
Summer Kitchen/Bar- the sky's the limit on this one. Just make sure the cabinets are exterior grade and use stainless steel appliances.
