free standing sub panel - how to ?

[Knightryder12]

For a free standing pool equipment sub panel, what would you use to support rust proof struts ? 2" round galvanized fence posts....? A concrete slab will be poured under it. This customer is asking for it to look nice. Thank you

We used to get premade 4x4x8' concrete post and put 1-5/8" strut between them. Looks great and last a really long time.

...but this customer said he didn't like the looks of wood 4x4s. He suggested to me using struts, ..

Still trying to figure this part out.

Next to a pool, I would use stainless steel struts. Expensive in comparison, but cheaper than doing it over again a few years down the road when every nick in the galvanizing turns into rusted mush from the chemicals in the air.
