Any idea where to get metal brackets for outdoor awnings? Looking for a small one to DIY awning for windows.

What material do the brackets usually comes in... aluminium, mild steel? And what is the estimated cost?

I guess you are referring to the metal frame that holds the awning, and not the brackets per se. That has to be fabricated, whether with wood, or metal. The choice of which also depends on what material you use to cover the frame making it an awning. There are aluminium awnings where you customize order the aluminium interlocking strips, and this strips are hled together by slotting into each other. Other alternatives are canvas, polycorbonate sheets, corrugated sheets etc.

There's a guy in Ang Mo Kio who used to own a "Sunlight Awning Co" and now sort of retired. If you can take a picture of the window for which you intend to install the awning, email to me at diy70wood@yahoo.com, and I can pass it on to him to give you a quote.
