Default Gazebo's and Liquid Limestone?

We have liquid limestone around our spa.

We have a canter lever umbrella for shade at the moment but would like a more permanent structure in place.

We're thinking of maybe a wood framed gazebo with a retractable shade. Or just a simple structure with 4 posts.

I know it would have been best to have the structure put in first but we just needed that concrete down asap as sand was getting everywhere.

How hard is it to do (putting posts in etc.) I know it will have to be drilled.

Is it a DIY job or is there more to it than that?

Any advice appreciated

It's drilling concrete.. Either do it carefully to make holes for beams or smash it all and start again..

Probably the same as putting fencing into liquid limestone .... It was a DIY job for HIM...... Just drilled the holes...

Bunnings do some nice canvas ones that have the steel posts you bolt into the limestone... One with slidy up and down slides for extra hmmmm... Privacy? When youre in the spa having "fun"

For putting in 4 posts I would be drilling a 127mm core hole into liquid limestone and put in stirrups and then posts on top and using brickie lite cement and would be a pretty neat job.
