The aluminium nuts and bolts look like standard components to me. Can't
really tell what the clips look like from your photographs, but you
should be able to make something close enough from stock extruded
aluminium U section and a few hand tools. You will also need some L
section aluminium (and I would suggest you brace the corner facing into
the prevailing wind with thicker than standard material).

Here is what happened to mine in the storm of 1997

The wind facing corner sheared off its anchor bolts and the corner
struts crippled through the glass which did not bend at all. Hurricane
force wind got inside and that was the end.
