Exterior wood finish...in the desert

I'm in the process of stripping and refinishing an exterior wood table/chair set for a friend who is moving out of state for work. I was working under the impression that they were moving to New York and have so far applied one coat of an exterior linseed based stain (50/50, raw linseed with dryers/mineral spirits). I was planning on putting on several coats of our spar varnish, which should've held up for years, but I recently received news their New York position fell through and my friend will now be transferring to Texas. I love my company and our paints and stains are great, but I know there's no UV inhibitors in our spar and it wouldn't hold up at all. Is there anything that will hold up to the intense UV in the desert or am I better off with doing just the linseed stain?
