Default source for aluminium sections/parts to build a verandah

Seen these "installed" for vast sums.

Appears to be just toughened single glazing and standard ali sections powder coated & bolted together?

Anyone done one? Or any pointers to the sources of suitable ali components? Posts, beams, rafters, spandrel brackets, er anything else?

TIA

I bought some 2" powder coated ally box section lengths a couple of
years ago. 4 metre lengths were around £60.
They were used for the uprights/crossmembers, galvanised brackets,
inside the box section were used for bolting them together.
Aluminium stockholders are the place to try.
