Shade Sail Help

I'm looking at installing a roughly 10'x20' shade sail in my backyard. For 2 of the anchor points I'm going to attach with eye bolts to my house. The other two sides I want to use 6"x6" treated lumber ~12' tall. I have an existing patio that I'd like to attach the 6x6 posts to with something like the attached. Would this work? I'm afraid that the posts potentially wouldn't be sturdy enough surface mounting but I'd like to avoid concrete removal/replacement which is what I'd have to do to get footings in for the posts.
