your question not clear me, if have make border body container, can use 4 fixed div elements it, each 1 placed @ 4 edge of page.

html

<div id="left"></div> <div id="right"></div> <div id="top"></div> <div id="bottom"></div> 

css

#top, #bottom, #left, #right { position: fixed; } 

here working demo.
