I built a little shelter at the side of my pool. It's bigger than what you are doing but was built in a similar style. We put in a reinforced concrete footing for each post, with a piece of 6"x6" tube steel about 30 inches long in each one, to accept a 6"x6" rough cedar post. We have to trim the cedar posts a little to fit the tube steel, and we made sure that water couldn't get between the steel and the wood. It's stout.
