Poway's semi-rural inland location brings intense summer heat (95°F+), low humidity, and significant wildfire risk. Decks face extreme UV exposure and rapid moisture loss. We use heat-stable, deep-penetrating stains with maximum UV protection — products that won't crack or peel under Poway's punishing inland sun.
