Layout Demo

Containers

Containers are the most basic layout element in Bootstrap and are required when using our default grid system. Choose from a responsive, fixed-width container (meaning its max-width changes at each breakpoint) or fluid-width (meaning it’s 100% wide all the time). While containers can be nested, most layouts do not require a nested container.

While nesting containers is possible, it's not recommended. See Bootstrap for usage details.

Container Standard

Use .container for the standard version. Padding is set as an expression of $grid-gutter-width / 2.


Container Fluid

Use .container-fluid for a full width container, spanning the entire width of the viewport.
