Description

Another one to experiment with. It’s possible I’m doing something wrong, but I often find the need to add padding to the `outer-container()`, but then this breaks the visual grind. This pattern can fix that:

``` scss
.container {
padding-left: $gutter;
padding-right: $gutter;
@include outer-container();
}

@if $visual-grid == true {
body:before {
@include calc(width, '100% - #{ $gutter * 2 }');
@include calc(max-width, '#{ $max-width } - #{ $gutter * 2 }');
}
}
```

Research direction

Start with the SCSS pattern in the issue body and inspect the container and visual-grid helpers it refers to. Confirm how gutter padding affects the visual grid, then verify that padded containers and the grid remain aligned at the supported layout sizes.
