Yes! The Moderna 10×10 can perform well in hot, dry desert climates, including areas where temperatures exceed 100°F, with proper care and maintenance.
Solid wood naturally expands and contracts with changes in humidity, and this movement can be more noticeable in very dry conditions. The tongue-and-groove construction accommodates this natural movement, so it's important to allow the walls to settle freely without being restricted by shelving or other fixed structures.
We also recommend applying a quality exterior wood stain with UV protection to help protect the wood from intense sun exposure.
