In bootstrap 3  I think we can do something like that  for remove left and right margin     lt div class  row this row  gt       lt div class  col-md-2 col-md-offset-1  gt  lt  div gt       lt div class  col-md-2  gt  lt  div gt       lt div class  col-md-2  gt  lt  div gt       lt div class  col-md-2  gt  lt  div gt       lt div class  col-md-2  gt  lt  div gt   lt  div gt    and CSS   this row       margin  0 -5

Bootstrap by default can scale up to 12 columns  This means if we want to create a 12-column layout of equal width  we would write inside div class  col-md-1  twelve times    lt div class  row  gt   lt div class  col-md-1  gt  lt  div gt       lt div class  col-md-2  gt 1 lt  div gt   lt div class  col-md-2  gt 2 lt  div gt   lt div class  col-md-2  gt 3 lt  div gt   lt div class  col-md-2  gt 4 lt  div gt   lt div class  col-md-2  gt 5 lt  div gt   lt div class  col-md-1  gt  lt  div gt   lt  div gt

For twitter bootstrap 3 this is the most simple way to achieve this    lt section class  col col-sm-3  style  width  20    gt   lt section class  col col-sm-3  style  width  20    gt   lt section class  col col-sm-3  style  width  20    gt   lt section class  col col-sm-3  style  width  20    gt   lt section class  col col-sm-3  style  width  20    gt

In case you do no need the exact same width of columns you can try create 5-columns using nesting    lt div class  container  gt       lt div class  row  gt           lt div class  col-xs-5  gt               lt div class  row  gt                   lt div class  col-xs-6 column  gt Column 1 lt  div gt                   lt div class  col-xs-6 column  gt Column 2 lt  div gt               lt  div gt           lt  div gt           lt div class  col-xs-7  gt               lt div class  row  gt                   lt div class  col-xs-4 column  gt Column 3 lt  div gt                   lt div class  col-xs-4 column  gt Column 4 lt  div gt                   lt div class  col-xs-4 column  gt Column 5 lt  div gt               lt  div gt           lt  div gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    jsfiddle  The first two columns will have width equal 5 12   1 2   20 83   The last three columns   7 12   1 3   19 44   Such hack gives the acceptable result in many cases and does not require any CSS changes  we re using only the native bootstrap classes

In my opinion it is better to use it like this with Less syntax  This answer is based on the answer from  fizzix  This way columns use variables   grid-gutter-width  media breakpoints  that user may have overriden and the behavior of five columns matches with behavior of 12 column grid         Special grid for ten columns      using its own scope     so it does not interfere with the rest of the code       amp         import  multiple      bootstrap-3 2 0 less variables less        grid-columns  5       import   multiple      bootstrap-3 2 0 less mixins less         column  1       col-xs-5ths            make-xs-column  column               col-sm-5ths            make-sm-column  column               col-md-5ths            make-md-column  column               col-lg-5ths            make-lg-column  column                                                         Using default bootstrap now                                             import   multiple      bootstrap-3 2 0 less variables less    import   multiple      bootstrap-3 2 0 less mixins less           your normal less definitions

BOOTSTRAP 4  I read all answers and I didn t find  the obvious one   Basically what you need to do is to take any bootstrap column  for example col-2  and edit few values  In this example I am using  col-custom class   Five equal columns means each one occupies 20   so  flex 0 0 20  and max-width 20   The same way you can create other number of columns  7  9  11  84 or whatever you want    You can create CSS variables with custom width  and use it in your projects  Something like that    root     --col-custom  20       col-custom     flex  0 0 var --col-custom     max-width  var --col-custom         Working example    x000D   x000D   col-custom  x000D   col-sm-custom  x000D   col-md-custom  x000D   col-lg-custom  x000D   col-xl-custom   x000D    position  relative  x000D    width  100   x000D    padding-right  15px  x000D    padding-left  15px  x000D    x000D   x000D   col-custom   x000D    flex  0 0 20   x000D    max-width  20   x000D    x000D   x000D   media  min-width  576px   x000D     col-sm-custom   x000D      flex  0 0 20   x000D      max-width  20   x000D      x000D    x000D   media  min-width  768px   x000D     col-md-custom   x000D      flex  0 0 20   x000D      max-width  20   x000D      x000D    x000D   media  min-width  992px   x000D     col-lg-custom   x000D      flex  0 0 20   x000D      max-width  20   x000D      x000D    x000D   media  min-width  1200px   x000D     col-xl-custom   x000D      flex  0 0 20   x000D      max-width  20   x000D      x000D    x000D   x000D    DEMO   x000D   col-custom  col-sm-custom  col-md-custom  col-lg-custom  col-xl-custom height 100px border 1px red solid  x000D   lt link rel  stylesheet  href  https   stackpath bootstrapcdn com bootstrap 4 3 1 css bootstrap min css  gt  x000D   x000D   lt div class  container-fluid  gt  x000D     lt div class  row  gt  x000D       lt div class  col-sm-custom  gt  lt  div gt  x000D       lt div class  col-sm-custom  gt  lt  div gt  x000D       lt div class  col-sm-custom  gt  lt  div gt  x000D       lt div class  col-sm-custom  gt  lt  div gt  x000D       lt div class  col-sm-custom  gt  lt  div gt  x000D     lt  div gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

For Bootstrap 3 and above  A fantastic full width 5 columns layout with Twitter Bootstrap was created here   This is by far the most advanced solution since it works seamlessly with Bootstrap 3  It allows you to re-use the classes over and over again  in pair with the current Bootstrap classes for responsive design   CSS  Add this to your global stylesheet  or even to the bottom of your bootstrap css document    col-xs-5ths   col-sm-5ths   col-md-5ths   col-lg-5ths       position  relative      min-height  1px      padding-right  15px      padding-left  15px      col-xs-5ths       width  20       float  left      media  min-width  768px         col-sm-5ths           width  20           float  left            media  min-width  992px         col-md-5ths           width  20           float  left            media  min-width  1200px         col-lg-5ths           width  20           float  left            Put it to use For example  if you want to create a div element that behaves like a five column layout on medium screens and like two columns on smaller ones  you just need to use something like this    lt div class  row  gt       lt div class  col-md-5ths col-xs-6  gt                  lt  div gt   lt  div gt    WORKING DEMO - Expand the frame to see the columns become responsive   ANOTHER DEMO - Incorporating the new col- -5ths classes with others such as col- -3 and col- -2  Resize the frame to see them all change to col-xs-6 in responsive view     For Bootstrap 4  Bootstrap 4 now uses flexbox by default  so you get access to its magical powers straight out of the box  Check out the auto layout columns that dynamically adjust width depending on how many columns are nested   Here s an example    lt div class  row  gt      lt div class  col  gt        1 of 5     lt  div gt      lt div class  col  gt        2 of 5     lt  div gt      lt div class  col  gt        3 of 5     lt  div gt      lt div class  col  gt        4 of 5     lt  div gt      lt div class  col  gt        5 of 5     lt  div gt   lt  div gt    WORKING DEMO

Create a custom Bootstrap download for 5 column layout Go to Bootstrap 2 3 2  or Bootstrap 3  customization page and set the following variables  don t input semicolons    gridColumns            5   gridColumnWidth        172px   gridColumnWidth1200    210px   gridColumnWidth768     128px   gridGutterWidth768     21px   Download your build  This grid would fit into default containers  preserving default gutter widths  almost   Note  If you are using LESS  update variables less instead

By default Bootstrap does not provide grid system that allows us to create five columns layout  you need to create default column definition in the way that Bootstrap do create some custom classes and media queries in your css file   col-xs-15   col-sm-15   col-md-15   col-lg-15       position  relative      min-height  1px      padding-right  10px      padding-left  10px     col-xs-15       width  20       float  left     media  min-width  768px     col-sm-15           width  20           float  left           media  min-width  992px         col-md-15           width  20           float  left           media  min-width  1200px         col-lg-15           width  20           float  left            and some html code   lt div class  row  gt       lt div class  col-md-15 col-sm-3  gt               lt  div gt   lt  div gt

Create 5 elements with the class col-sm-2 and add to the first element also the class col-sm-offset-1    P s  this will not be full width  it will be indented a little from the right and left of the screen     The code should look something like this    lt div class  col-sm-2 col-sm-offset-1  gt  lt  div gt   lt div class  col-sm-2  gt  lt  div gt   lt div class  col-sm-2  gt  lt  div gt   lt div class  col-sm-2  gt  lt  div gt   lt div class  col-sm-2  gt  lt  div gt

For Bootstrap 3  if you want full-width and are using LESS  SASS  or something similar  all you have to do is make use of Bootstrap s mixin functions make-md-column  make-sm-column  etc   LESS    col-lg-2-4     make-lg-column 2 4     col-md-2-4     make-md-column 2 4     col-sm-2-4     make-sm-column 2 4      SASS    col-lg-2-4     include make-lg-column 2 4     col-md-2-4     include make-md-column 2 4     col-sm-2-4     include make-sm-column 2 4      Not only can you build true full-width bootstrap column classes using these mixins  but you can also build all the related helper classes like  col-md-push-    col-md-pull-   and  col-md-offset-    LESS    col-md-push-2-4     make-md-column-push 2 4     col-md-pull-2-4     make-md-column-pull 2 4     col-md-offset-2-4     make-md-column-offset 2 4      SASS    col-md-push-2-4     include make-md-column-push 2 4     col-md-pull-2-4     include make-md-column-pull 2 4     col-md-offset-2-4     include make-md-column-offset 2 4      Other answers talk about setting  gridColumns which is perfectly valid  but that changes the core column width for all of bootstrap  Using the above mixin functions will add 5 column layout on top of the default bootstrap columns  so it will not break any 3rd party tools or existing styling

An improvisation on  lightswitch s answer  if we need a 5 column grid using LESS iterations   make-fifth-col  index  when   index  gt  0       class-name     col-md-5th-  index         class-name         make-md-column 1 2  index           make-fifth-col  index - 1       make-fifth-col 10     This will generate css classes  col-md-5th-1  col-md-5th-2  col-md-5th-3  and so on which corresponds to 10   20   30     respectively

You can use the little trick to make the col-md-2 with offsets solution full width  It use the way that bootstrap does to remove hide  15px paddings   I mean by adding  -  margins  Actually the calc -10  - 15px   margins for both side   10  is the offset width and 15px for the padding    The only minus is it will make the page scroll horizontal so you will need the overflow-x hidden on the parent of the row   css   row-xs-5       margin-left  calc -10  - 15px       margin-right  calc -10  - 15px      media  min-width  768px       row-sm-5       margin-left  calc -10  - 15px       margin-right  calc -10  - 15px          media  min-width  992px       row-md-5       margin-left  calc -10  - 15px       margin-right  calc -10  - 15px          media  min-width  1200px       row-lg-5       margin-left  calc -10  - 15px       margin-right  calc -10  - 15px          html   lt div style  overflow-x hidden   gt     lt div class  row row-md-5  gt       lt div class  col-xs-6 col-md-2 col-md-offset-1  gt col1 lt  div gt       lt div class  col-xs-6 col-md-2  gt col2 lt  div gt       lt div class  col-xs-6 col-md-2  gt col3 lt  div gt       lt div class  col-xs-6 col-md-2  gt col4 lt  div gt       lt div class  col-xs-6 col-md-2 text-right  gt col5 lt  div gt     lt  div gt   lt  div gt    Here is demo  http   jsfiddle net sct3j 171

Another way to enable 5 columns in Bootstrap 3 is to modify the 12 columns format used by default by Bootstrap  And then create a 20 columns grid  use customize on the Bootstrap website OR use the LESS SASS version    To customize on the bootstrap website  go to Customize and Download page  update variable   grid-columns from 12 to 20  Then you will be able to create 4 as well as 5 columns

the easiest solution without any need to edit CSS would be    lt div class  row  gt     lt div class  btn-group btn-group-justified  gt       lt div class  btn-group  gt         lt div class  col-sm-12  gt Column 1 lt  div gt       lt  div gt       lt div class  btn-group  gt         lt div class  col-sm-12  gt Column 2 lt  div gt       lt  div gt       lt div class  btn-group  gt         lt div class  col-sm-12  gt Column 3 lt  div gt       lt  div gt       lt div class  btn-group  gt         lt div class  col-sm-12  gt Column 4 lt  div gt       lt  div gt       lt div class  btn-group  gt         lt div class  col-sm-12  gt Column 5 lt  div gt       lt  div gt     lt  div gt   lt  div gt    And if you need those to break beyond any breakpoint  just make btn-group block  Hope this helps someone

Keep the original bootstrap with 12 columns  do not customize it  The only modification you need to make is some css after the original bootstrap responsive css  like this   The following code has been tested for Bootstrap 2 3 2    lt style type  text css  gt     start of modification for 5 columns     media  min-width  768px        fivecolumns  span2           width  18 297872340425532            width  18 2234042553191494            media  min-width  1200px         fivecolumns  span2           width  17 9487179487179488            width  17 87424986361156592            media  min-width  768px  and  max-width  979px         fivecolumns  span2           width  17 79005524861878448            width  17 7155871635124022              end of modification for 5 columns     lt  style gt    And the html    lt div class  row-fluid fivecolumns  gt       lt div class  span2  gt           lt h2 gt Heading lt  h2 gt           lt p gt Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus  Fusce dapibus  tellus ac cursus commodo  tortor mauris condimentum nibh  ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus  Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod  Donec sed odio dui   lt  p gt           lt p gt  lt a class  btn  href     gt View details  amp raquo  lt  a gt  lt  p gt       lt  div gt       lt div class  span2  gt           lt h2 gt Heading lt  h2 gt           lt p gt Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus  Fusce dapibus  tellus ac cursus commodo  tortor mauris condimentum nibh  ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus  Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod  Donec sed odio dui   lt  p gt           lt p gt  lt a class  btn  href     gt View details  amp raquo  lt  a gt  lt  p gt       lt  div gt       lt div class  span2  gt           lt h2 gt Heading lt  h2 gt           lt p gt Donec sed odio dui  Cras justo odio  dapibus ac facilisis in  egestas eget quam  Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper  Fusce dapibus  tellus ac cursus commodo  tortor mauris condimentum nibh  ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus  lt  p gt           lt p gt  lt a class  btn  href     gt View details  amp raquo  lt  a gt  lt  p gt       lt  div gt       lt div class  span2  gt           lt h2 gt Heading lt  h2 gt           lt p gt Donec sed odio dui  Cras justo odio  dapibus ac facilisis in  egestas eget quam  Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper  Fusce dapibus  tellus ac cursus commodo  tortor mauris condimentum nibh  ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus  lt  p gt           lt p gt  lt a class  btn  href     gt View details  amp raquo  lt  a gt  lt  p gt       lt  div gt       lt div class  span2  gt           lt h2 gt Heading lt  h2 gt           lt p gt Donec sed odio dui  Cras justo odio  dapibus ac facilisis in  egestas eget quam  Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper  Fusce dapibus  tellus ac cursus commodo  tortor mauris condimentum nibh  ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus  lt  p gt           lt p gt  lt a class  btn  href     gt View details  amp raquo  lt  a gt  lt  p gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    Note  Even though the span2 times 5 doesn t equal 12 columns  you get the idea     A working example can be found here http   jsfiddle net v3Uy5 6

My preferred approach to this problem is to create a SASS mixin utilizing existing Bootstrap variables based on the make-grid-columns mixin       Custom Grid Columns         name - determines the class names  eg    col-5ths   col-sm-5ths          size - determines the width  2 4 is one fifth of 12  the default number of columns   mixin custom-grid-columns  name   size   grid-columns   grid-columns   breakpoints   grid-breakpoints         columns  round  grid-columns    size         custom-grid-column            include make-col-ready                each  breakpoint in map-keys  breakpoints             infix  breakpoint-infix  breakpoint   breakpoints             col   infix -   name                 extend  custom-grid-column                      include media-breakpoint-up  breakpoint   breakpoints                   Create column              col   infix -   name                     include make-col  size                                 Create offset              if not   infix                         offset   infix -   name                         include make-col-offset  size                                                       Then you can call the mixin to generate the custom column and offset classes    include custom-grid-columns  5ths   2 4
