CSS Grid 2 cols and half height-CodePudding

Im trying to get my CSS grid into 2 columns with the same parent height but each smaller box half the height of the main box. See attached image. However I can't quite get the right layout and need some help. Please see my code so far.

.item1 { grid-area: header; }
.item2 { grid-area: menu; height:200px;}
.item3 { grid-area: main; height:100px;}
.item4 { grid-area: right; height:100px;}
.item5 { grid-area: footer; height:200px;}

.grid-container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-areas:
    'header header'
    'menu right'
    'main footer';
  gap: 10px;
  background-color: #2196F3;
  padding: 10px;
}

.grid-container > div {
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
  text-align: center;
  padding: 20px 0;
  font-size: 30px;
}

CodePudding user response：

There is a missing row in the grid template areas definition.

.item1 {
  grid-area: header;
}

.item2 {
  grid-area: menu;
  height: 200px;
}

.item3 {
  grid-area: main;
  height: 100px;
}

.item4 {
  grid-area: right;
  height: 100px;
}

.item5 {
  grid-area: footer;
  height: 200px;
}

.grid-container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-areas: 'header header' 'menu right' 'menu footer' 'main footer';
  gap: 10px;
  background-color: #2196F3;
  padding: 10px;
}

.grid-container>div {
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
  text-align: center;
  padding: 20px 0;
  font-size: 30px;
