This man can’t afford his own swimming pool. But what he builds behind his house is more than impressive.

Many people pay thousands of dollars to put a pool in their own backyard. Whether it's an in-ground or above-ground pool, both options aren't exactly cheap. But José Franco from Curitiba in Brazil decided he could build his own pool all by himself in his backyard as cheaply as possible. And he came up with the following idea.

He buys a simple pool with plastic walls and floor from a home-improvement center and sets it on a plastic tarp in his backyard.

Then he starts to build a wooden scaffold around it to secure the pool.

And he adds wood to the scaffold so that you can lay down comfortably in the sun during the summer next to the pool.

He even adds a set of stairs to the wooden construction so that you can get up to the top in just three steps.

And at last the pool is done and the summer can come. An amazing and frugal way to enjoy a swim in your backyard and it even looks stylish.

A pool in your own backyard doesn't have to cost that much at all. With a little imagination and craftsmanship, you can build your own pool that not only looks pretty amazing but also guarantees a lot of fun in the water this summer.
