Separate Switches For Split receptacle

I am researching a project similar to BDOBS and can use some help. I have 12/2 stubbed to a exterior box. Would like to wire in two switches and pull 12/3 from the switches to an outlet at my pond and be able to control the top of the outlet with one switch and the bottom with the other. If I can't split a GFCI outlet I can install a GFCI breaker if that is the best way to go?

Was hoping someone could provide a diagram of the proper way to wire this up, or at the very least explain it all as I have searched hi and low online for a schematic with no luck.

Thanks in advance

 

You just need to supply the gfi protection before the receptacles.

 

I understand the GFCI protection part. What I was hoping for (need) is a picture of the wiring between the two switches and the outlet? 12/2 to the two switches, 12/3 from the switches to the top and bottom of the plug-in.

 

At the switch:

• White to White
• Black of power in pigtailed to one screw of each switche.
• Black of 3-conductor cable to remaining screw of one switch.
• Red to remaining screw of the other switch.

At the receptacle:

• White to silver screw. (Tab is not removed.)
• Remove tab brass side only.
• Red to one brass screw.
• Black to other brass screws.

Grounds connected per code.

 

The receptacles need to be weather resistant rated and a in use cover used.

 

A diagram to go along with Ray's description.
Grounds are not shown but are expected to be connected.



You'll need to break the bridge clip off on the hot (gold screw) side of the receptacle.
