Lanais in Clearwater, Florida
Comfortable, covered outdoor living space that adds shade and everyday use to your home.
More Usable Space for Florida Living
A lanai turns unused outdoor area into a space you'll actually use — for relaxing, entertaining, or simply getting out of direct sun and rain.
Clearwater Carports builds lanais designed for Florida's climate, giving you shade, coverage, and a practical extension of your home that holds up year-round.
Why Clearwater Homeowners Add Lanais
Florida weather makes outdoor living possible almost year-round — but the heat, rain, and bugs make uncovered outdoor space uncomfortable for most of the day. A lanai fixes that.
A covered lanai gives you a shaded, protected area that's actually usable in Florida's climate. Whether you want somewhere to have morning coffee, a space to entertain, or just a comfortable way to enjoy your backyard without baking in the sun, a lanai makes it possible.
It also adds functional square footage to your home without the cost of an interior addition — and it's one of the most common improvements homeowners make for exactly that reason.

Add a Screen Enclosure and Get Even More Out of Your Lanai
A lanai gives you shade and coverage. A screen enclosure takes it further — keeping mosquitoes, no-see-ums, leaves, and debris out so you can actually sit outside without swatting bugs all evening.
The two work together naturally. We can build both at the same time or add a screen enclosure to an existing lanai. Either way, the result is a comfortable, protected outdoor space you'll use far more than an open patio.
If you're already thinking about a lanai, it's worth asking about screening it in from the start.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lanai?
A lanai is a covered outdoor living area attached to your home. In Florida, they're typically roofed structures that provide shade and rain protection while keeping the space open to the outdoors.
What's the difference between a lanai and a patio?
A patio is usually an uncovered or partially covered ground-level surface. A lanai has a full roof structure that provides shade and rain protection.
Can I add a screen enclosure to my lanai?
Yes. A screen enclosure can be added to a new lanai during the build or to an existing one. It keeps bugs and debris out while keeping the space open and comfortable.
How long does a lanai installation take?
It depends on the size and scope of the project. We'll give you a timeline during your free on-site quote.
