The stairs will get a banister railing on them. I think it has to meet some sort of building code. I know for sure the decks have a similar code to make sure no kids are gonna crawl between them and fall off.
ROB: I totally agree going with the lighter stains initally; you can always go darker at a later date, if you find it too light, but trying to lighten it may be tough? Can you sample the choice of your stains, maybe on a given area inside your barn with enough exposure that gives you self satisfaction? It has been my experience from a chart, or small areas of color, can be deceiving? I have also learned different lighting, affects colors too! You have probably tried all of the above anyway?
