Same here, but from Philly. Down here they would look at you funny if you called it a screen room.

I just thought they were either screened in porches or screened in patios...I'm going to have to call mine (when it's finished) the fancy name (once I make sure of the pronouciation) and watch the weird looks from people. I did hear a patio, not screened tho I don't think...on HGTV the other day called something totally different from anything I'd heard before...but I don't remember what it was!

Okay, Yunz guys, I'm from the Burgh too ("Pixburg") and the only thing I can think that they call them here is Patio Enclosures, Custom Patio Rooms, Sunroom and the new one that I have heard is Polycarbonate Enclosure (which is actually just the material that the enclosure is made from)..

out of the frying pan...
Here's how it was explained to me:

Porch - roofed, open sided or screened, usually involves rocking chairs, swings, and/or sweet tea
Patio - paved floor on ground level, no roof
Deck - raised wood floor, no roof
Lanai - started life as either a patio or deck but was enclosed by lattice/climbing plants
Sunroom (Florida Room) - started life as a porch and then was glassed in.

Does that help?

Hmmm... but on the Golden Girls, they had a Lanai and it was like a fancy patio.

I would be less concerned what the difference is between a lanai and a patio and re-examine why you've watched the Golden Girls.

I could understand why you would Pale, you're probably their senior by 20 or 30 years.

LOL, Peepers, you're the best.

In FL, the lanai is any screened patio area.

I am 240 +/- miles from the coast...and people freaked out about Rita here! Bought everything that Wal-Mart and HEB carried...and wouldn't you know that was when we needed a loaf of bread for lunches the next day?? I can't tell you for sure that it even rained here...
