Default Anchoring a Canopy onto Patio

I am thinking of getting a 10'x10' canopy that is made of fabric top
and a frame with 4 metal legs, and set it up on my back patio. The
patio was build with 6"x9" paver bricks. My question is, how should I
anchor the legs onto the patio. Each leg has 4 screw holes. If I
simply drive some screws into the bricks, would they keep the canopy
from being blown away (under reasonable summer weather)? These bricks
are not bind to each other but tightly put together with sand filling
the gaps. Would screws even stay in the bricks, or will they crack the
bricks?
