Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

Whether you are a homeowner or you are still in the process of finding your perfect dwelling, there are lots of questions that are bound to come up. For starters, you may have to decide between a pool and a patio. But what if there were a way to have both with the space of one?

The man in the video is here to show you everything that you need to know. This is one of the most brilliant designs that we have ever seen in any backyard if we are being totally honest. He’s come up with a plan that is so smart, we wish that we had been able to come up with it on our own. If you have never seen a patio that turns into a pool before, this is your chance to do so.

When you first see this man’s plan, you won’t be able to believe it. It starts off as any normal patio. You have probably seen a number of regular stone patios like this one during the course of your life. You have never seen anything like this, though!

Best of all, it lowers to a sensible height, so that your children can use it with ease. We have yet to see a cooler kiddie pool. All you need to do is press a button and the rest takes care of itself. Another button press and the patio sinks even deeper so that adults are able to take a nice, refreshing swim.

his is one surefire way to keep your pals entertained the next time that they decide to stop over!
