A balcony enlarges the living space and range of activities possible in a property without a garden or lawn. If you have one, a little attention can turn it into a really cool hangout spot. Or go crazy with it.

For example, you can turn your balcony into a solar power plant. Or a spaceship. What's that I hear you say? It's impossible? Believe me, that's just scratching the surface.

Bored Panda has collected a list of images of the funniest and weirdest balconies we could find on the Internet, and they're so ridiculous, I don't know if we should demolish them or declare architectural heritage. Enjoy!
