I have a question for you - what direction does your pool area face?
The reason why I ask is I live over an hour north of you and also grow a lot of tomatoes on my pool deck. My deck is white and faces south. The plants get really hot with the reflection from the deck and pool; I was using shade cloth around 11-1 during August; but with the sun moving south, I needed to use it earlier in mid-late Sept (9:30 - 10). Today the temperature was much better.

Pool area faces south... sounds like a situation similar to what you have. Good suggestion about the shade cloth. Are you manually putting it up and taking it down each day, or do you have it positioned so that the sun only filters through it when overhead?
