Pergola options for base

Evening all

We’ve had a new patio laid and we’re looking to erect a pergola (DIY option rather than purchase a kit).

With the four posts. Rather than digging them into the ground with postcrete, we want to put the bases into 4 large plant pots and concrete them into those.

Can anyone see any major disadvantages of doing this? There won’t be much on the roof so wind ‘shouldn’t’ be a problem (we hope 😂).
