I'm guessing you mean you want it to extend to the boundary of the viewport?
I think the common method is to create multiple container elements nested in
another element that has the background image/color that extending to the
viewport boundary.

<div class="background">
    <div class="container">
        header
    </div>
</div>
<div class="container">
    body
</div>
</div class="background2">
    <div class="container">
        footer
    </div>
</div>
