Stairs and Railings

Stairs and Railings are very important functionally and architecturally in an open space. We use reclaimed wood to build staircases that blend right in with the barn frame, and are as beautiful and tactile as they are functional. Railings and spindles are typically finished with the same hand tools that were used in the period when the frame was constructed.

Iron stairs are also appropriate and space saving for access to lofts, and we find mixing some new and old materials actually helps to preserve the experience of the open space. Again it is often a very individual choice.

Barn frames often come with fittings such as ladders, wagon or rope hoists, and we preserve these details and work with them.
