We have built a deck on two levels and initially thought we would have anchor points for the sunshade on the upper level. Then we realized that it would have been even better on the lower level, but since we didn't put a high post in the corner as a potential anchor point we're now considering the best way to proceed.
The picture shows the deck and the rings indicate where the anchor points should be. I think the sail should slope down towards the corner of the deck. The other three anchor points are approximately 250 cm above the decking and the railing is about 110 cm high, so thinking that the anchor point should be about 100 cm above the railing.
What do you think is the best solution to handle the load from a 4 x 3 m sunshade while (as little as possible) not detracting from the deck's appearance? Have considered screwing a 70x70 post onto the existing one (which is 95x95) or possibly using some kind of metal pipe.
I would replace the existing one with a taller pole. Screw eyes directly into the pole hold. The fabric is what will break first, so make it easy to unhook in windy weather.

That pole is quite firmly fixed so I would preferably avoid trying to replace it.
