I'm using a 4x4 wooden post for my pool equipment and I just finished digging the trench (18") for PVC but I'm a bit confused.

I have my PVC coming from the house and towards the "front" of the 4x4. I need one outlet on the "left" of the 4x4 and another on the "right". The PVC is carrying 5 conductors for these two different circuits. (i.e. the two outlets are on different circuits)

What's the best way to run the PVC?

Should I tee the PVC in the ground before it comes up the sides of the 4x4?

Should I start to come up the 4x4 and then put a tee above-ground and then split to the two sides of the 4x4?

I'm having trouble finding 90 degree elbow to turn the PVC around the corners of the 4x4.

Hopefully this makes sense what I'm trying to do... (two outlets on different sides of a 4x4 and each on a different circuit/wires)

EDIT: This is getting inspected so it needs to be code complaint...

A pool is nothing for someone that is not familiar with electrical to be fooling with. Since it's to be inspected, I would hire a qualified electrician to do the install. With that said..........
