Grand Junction's intense UV and dry heat pull moisture out of wood and break down the surface, which is why unsealed decks here turn gray, check, and splinter fast. A quality UV-protective stain and sealer blocks the sun's rays, repels water, and keeps the wood dimensionally stable through our big temperature swings. South-facing and fully exposed decks take the most abuse and benefit most from staying on a sealing schedule.
Most wood decks in the Grand Junction area need cleaning and resealing every one to three years, sooner for horizontal boards in full sun. A simple test: sprinkle water on the boards — if it soaks in instead of beading, it is time to reseal.
