Will this gazebo survive the wind?

Mock-up: https://imgur.com/a/oyxpqeI

Here's the important information:

  • House is an L-shaped ranch like the picture
  • Gazebo will be 12' long x 10' deep x 10' tall
  • Gazebo will be build heavy duty (6x6 posts with 2x10 boards) with a metal roof because of very heavy snow in the winter
  • Gazebo will shed water bottom to top in the picture above (so the bottom of the gazebo in the picture is the higher part of the roof)
  • The entire backyard area is a pool area with existing concrete which I assume is 4" thick, so theres no place to dig footers unless I destroy the existing concrete

If I mount the posts to existing concrete using brackets and concrete anchors (or open to pouring concrete footer on existing concrete if that's better), will the wind just rip this thing out of the concrete? I'm thinking the house is blocking wind on 2 sides so that protection will help this thing from bring ripped out.

Will this gazebo survive the wind?
