About Zen Grids

Zen Grids is an intuitive, flexible grid system that leverages the natural source order of your content to make it easier to create fluid responsive designs. With an easy-to-use Sass mixin set, the Zen Grids system can be applied to an infinite number of layouts, including responsive, adaptive, fluid and fixed-width layouts.

USAGE

Here's a simple example: a content column with a sidebar on each side, aligned to a 12 column grid.

  @import "zen-grids";

  $zen-gutters: 40px;  // Set the gutter size. A half-gutter is used on
                       // each side of each column.

  .container {
    @include zen-grid-container();  // Define the container for your grid items.
  }

  $zen-columns: 12;  // Set the number of grid columns to use in this media
                     // query. You'll likely want a different grid for
                     // different screen sizes.

  @media all and (min-width: 50em) {
    .sidebar1 {
      @include zen-grid-item(3, 1);   // Span 3 columns starting in 1st column.
    }
    .content {
      @include zen-grid-item(6, 4);   // Span 6 columns starting in 4th column.
    }
    .sidebar2 {
      @include zen-grid-item(3, 10);  // Span 3 columns starting in 10th column.
    }
  }

Within the .container element, the .sidebar1, .sidebar2 and .content elements can be in any order.
