❗️❗ 😮 😮 A huge concrete ring in the middle of the garden… No one could figure out what he was doing, until he started laying the mosaic tiles. This guy had a genius idea!
😱 We thought it was a septic tank, a bunker, or even a silo… The truth? Much cooler – and completely unexpected. Scroll to find out what he created with almost nothing in his garden: it’s ingenious, cheap, and makes you want to do the same…

Everyone loses their mind a little bit in their own way.
But when you live in an apartment, it’s hard to unleash your creative madness. Even in a three-room flat, the walls are too close, the neighbors too curious, and your imagination is stuck.
However, as soon as you step into a house with a garden… well, that’s a different story. The mind wanders, ideas start flowing, and some projects take on a brilliantly unexpected turn.
One of my friends always dreamed of a triplex with a balcony. He wanted to sit there, look out over his land… and casually keep an eye on the neighbor in a bikini, hands in the potatoes. He built it, had a coffee on the balcony, saw the neighbor in his underwear… and never went back up again.
Another one built a secondary pavilion to play pool and ping-pong with his friends. They came once or twice… and the tables have been under a tarp for six years.
But today, I’m going to tell you about a third guy. A simple man, a worker, always known for having his hands in grease or cement. He earns an honest living, does a bit of masonry on the side, raised three kids, and still drives a battered Opel.
And this guy… he came up with an idea none of us saw coming.
One day, he showed up in his garden with a gigantic concrete ring. Not the kind of thing you use for a well or septic tank. No. This one was about 2.2 meters in diameter, maybe more. And he stacked two of them.
He started by digging by hand, so as not to damage the lawn. Then he leveled the ground with gravel, laid an XPS insulation layer, put in a metal mesh… and poured a thick slab.
The neighbors walked by, puzzled:
– Why are you installing something like that? We all have the sewer here, don’t we?
– Is it a bunker? A missile silo?
They glanced over… no pipes, no connections… the mystery deepened.
Then one day, he started tiling the inside. Little by little, the puzzle came together: this guy had just built… a mini pool. A basin 2.2 meters in diameter, 1.5 meters deep. Solid. Indestructible. And surprisingly elegant.
The craziest part? It all cost him 140,000 forints, which is practically nothing: transport, lifting, concrete rings, and mosaic included (which he had salvaged from a construction site).
No cracks. No maintenance. No risk of bursting in the frost. Only one constraint: draining with a pump.
In the summer, he uses an old filtration system and a bit of chlorine to keep the water clear. His dog ruined the pump last year trying to take a dip with the kids, but a brush and a Kärcher do the job of cleaning everything in fifteen minutes.
They say pool owners are happy twice: when they install it… and when they get rid of it. But this one is definitely an exception. He enjoys it, his kids do too. And me… I’m seriously starting to think it wouldn’t be so bad to have my own little swimming silo this summer.
What do you think? Is it brilliant… or totally crazy?
