- Content should be placed within columns, and only columns may be immediate children of rows.
- Column classes indicate the number of columns you'd like to use out of the possible 12 per row. So if you want three equal-width columns, you'd use `.col-sm-4`.
- Column `width`s are set in percentages, so they're always fluid and sized relative to their parent element.
-- Columns have horizontal `padding` to create the gutters between individual columns.
+- Columns have horizontal `padding` to create the gutters between individual columns, however, you can remove the `margin` from rows and `padding` from columns with `.no-gutters` on the `.row`.
- There are five grid tiers, one for each [responsive breakpoint]({{ site.baseurl }}/layout/overview/#responsive-breakpoints): extra small, small, medium, large, and extra large.
- Grid tiers are based on minimum widths, meaning they apply to that one tier and all those above it (e.g., `.col-sm-4` applies to small, medium, large, and extra large devices).
- You can use predefined grid classes or Sass mixins for more semantic markup.

+### Example: Remove gutters
+
+The gutters between columns in our default, predefined grid classes can be removed with `.no-gutters`. This removes the negative `margin`s from `.row` and the horizontal `padding` from all immediate children columns.
+
+Here's the source code for creating these styles. Note that column overrides are scoped to only the first children columns and are targeted via [attribute selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Attribute_selectors). While this generates a more specific selector, column padding can still be further customized with [spacing utilities]({{ site.baseurl }}/utilities/spacing/).
+
+{% highlight sass %}
+.no-gutters {
+ margin-right: 0;
+ margin-left: 0;
+
+ > [class*="col-"] {
+ padding-right: 0;
+ padding-left: 0;
+ }
+}
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+In practice, here's how it looks. Note you can continue to use this with all other predefined grid classes (including column widths, responsive tiers, reorders, and more).
+
+<div class="bd-example-row">
+{% example html %}
+<div class="row no-gutters">
+ <div class="col-12 col-sm-6 col-md-8">.col-12 .col-sm-6 .col-md-8</div>
+ <div class="col-6 col-md-4">.col-6 .col-md-4</div>
+</div>
+{% endexample %}
+</div>
+
### Example: Column wrapping
If more than 12 columns are placed within a single row, each group of extra columns will, as one unit, wrap onto a new line.
