Like I said I have very handy men so they did things like the aluminum cover and permanent electric line. Things that I wouldn't have done if I was putting this in myself. Really all you need is a small submersible pump with some tubing and some type of catch basin and top grid. Once you get the idea you will be amazed at how easy these things are to put together and you will find all kinds of things that will re-purpose into basins, top grids and fountains. I have seen a small water feature where they used a pile of pretty rocks to hide the tubing and the water just ran down over the pile. The rock pile sat on a few patio pavers that had been laid with 1/2 in. open spaces for the water to flow thru. I couldn't see how they supported the pavers or what they used for the catch basin but It wouldn't be hard to figure out how to do that.
