Multiple body containers in one page

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to have 2 (or more) containers for body in one page. I would like to separate content into more than one container.
I would imagine this to be possible through sections, but I also want the background to appear in the space between each container.

For example in this blog page, I have multiple containers for blog excerpts. And I would like to do something similar visually in the static home page.
