If I'm understanding what you are trying to do this is what you will want. To meet code you will need to add a ground bar ( ground and neutral need to be separate in a sub panel) Note the photo only shows a neutral bar (upper part of the picture that shows the inside). I try and match the brand with the other panels on the property but that is just my OCD. Others install what the supplier has and or what is cheapest- remember your biggest cost will be the breakers themselves- especially if you use GFCI.

Then add this if the brand you get doesn't have a separate one-

That box will fit my needs. I see the neutral/ground at the top of the box. I didn't know you needed a separate ground bar in the sub panel. Seems easy enough to install. Would I just screw it to the box and attach a ground out of the box to a pole in the ground near the post? of course the ground from the main panel would be attached also.
