Measurements a little off? Seems like whoever constructed this home in Russia forgot their tape measure, resulting in these less than aligned windows

Should have hired a professional! Hilarious photos show major building fails – from stairs that go nowhere to a garage that requires daredevil driving skills to enter

  • Design fails from around the world were collated by Domesticated Companion
  • Among the snaps is one showing a garage with a tree planted in front of its doors
  • Another photo shows an emergency fire hydrant inaccessible behind steel bars 

It’s famously said that when things are done well, they appear to be easy. 

In that case, these hilarious photos from around the world, collated by Domesticated Companion and showcasing extreme building fails, show just how difficult good construction is.

Among the staggeringly bad fails are a garage which is impossible to enter with any car, as its door is completely blocked by a tree.

Another snap shows a fire hydrant which is completely inaccessible, thanks to handrails built in front of it.

Here, FEMAIL rounds up some of the funniest construction fails, that will make you question what the builders were thinking.

People in this building in China must be really worried about fires - after all, it's not as if the hydrant is easily accessible in case of an emergency

Is this some kind of horrible joke? This 'accessible' bathroom in Barcelona is anything but, requiring the user to climb stairs before getting to the door
