Zen Grids - liquid layout with fixed side regions

I'm using Zen Grids to layout my Zen-based sub-theme, but am having trouble working out how exactly to do what I'd like...

The source-order of the regions of my theme is this:

[1 = header, 2 = content, 3 = sidebar, 4 = footer]

The goal layout I'm trying to achieve is this:

The problem, however, is that I'd like all side regions (1, 3 & 4) to be a fixed width (250px) while the content region (2) is fluid (whatever percentage of the screen is left).

Now Zen Grids can create this layout easily enough, but only with the side regions being a percentage-based width. Other issues and websites relating to fixed/fluid layouts can do regions 1 & 2 fine, but getting regions 3 & 4 up under region 1 and next to region 2 don't seem to work.

Can someone point me in the right direction for getting this working the way I want?
