1st: Maybe your grid size is still at default 8 units. U can change this via number keys 1,2,3... or menu grid

2nd: Ctrl+F

fitting the texture to the brush is ctrl+f . the railing is probably a thinner brush (2u) , textured with no draw and then one of the sides has a railing texture (with transparency) .

Probably rather a legend in misunderstanding questions and telling people what they didn't want to know (or even crap) :?
PKM is right, those very(!) thin "brushes" are just textured on one side. Study the stock maps or some at the recycling bin, and u'll see how it's done :)
