A:  I would think so but I guess it depends exactly on your application. They would not support a lot of weight that way. Putting them through the metal awning could also cause it to leak if done through the roof.

A:  These are primarily for wood applications, for metal applications we would need to know more information (type of material/metal, if hollow or solid, metal gauge, etc.). Without knowing more about the make-up of the awning it is difficult to know if these can be screwed in or support any weight.

A:  They're not self-tapping. But if you put a small pilot hole with a 3/16th or a 11/64th drill bit they'd probably go in no problem, depending on density of the awning material. I hand screwed them into floor joists to hang some 4ft lights and they probably could hold 50+ pounds each (rating says 30).
