Forget brushing, and the solid stain.
Get a pump up sprayer and a drop cloth. The pump up sprayer will not aspirate so servery that you need to worry about the neighbors. Like any job careful attention to detail will help to avoid over spray. Brush near the house, one or two boards, then throw a drop cloth over the rail and spray out towards the cloth . Do this on both sides, using the cloth a a back splash. Most important DO NOT USE A SOLID STAIN. You'll pay hell removing it for future application, go with a semi transparent and yearly maintenance. Take a look at my restoration pages and photo gallery. WWW.surface-maintenance.com
I can spray a 1000 sqft deck in 90 minutes. it would take me 5 hours to brush, with a helper.
