The best choice would be our Vermont Natural Coatings PolyWhey Exterior Stain. This comes in several colors or a clear and will provide a lasting finish. The pigmented colors will last longer than the clear as they have better UV resistance. Note; most barn beams are old and porous and therefore you will need 25-50% more product than usual. The AquaResin Stain Finish is mainly for interior use and will not hold up to weather very well.
