1. An elongated bracket system comprising:
composite window bracket, comprising:
a first member including a first end, a second end, a first surface extending from the first end of the first member to the second end of the first member, and a second surface extending from the first end of the first member to the second end of the first member, the first surface of the first member structurally configured to be coupled to a support beam; and
a second member including a first end, a second end, a first surface extending from the first end of the second member to the second end of the second member, meeting the first surface of the first member, and a second surface extending from the first end of the second member to the second end of the second member, meeting the second surface of the first member, the second member structurally configured to support a window disposed on the first surface of the second member;
wherein the first and second members are perpendicular to each other; and
wherein the first member includes an accessory member extending from the second surface of the first member and the second member further includes an accessory member extending from the second surface of the second member, each of the accessory members spaced apart from each other;
an accessory bracket comprising:
a first member having a first end and a second end, a first surface extending from the first end to the second end and a second surface extending from the first end to the second end, opposite the first surface;
a second member having a first end and a second end, a first surface extending from the first end to the second end, meeting the first surface of the first member at the second end thereof, and a second surface extending from the first end to the second end, opposite the first surface
wherein the first surface includes a slot that is structurally configured to be slidably engageable with the accessory member of the first member of the composite window bracket;
wherein the second surface includes a second slot that is structurally configured to be slidably engageable with the accessory member of the second member of the composite window bracket;
whereupon slidable engagement of the slot with the accessory member of the first member of the composite window and of the second slot with the accessory member of the second member of the composite window, the first surface of the first member of the accessory bracket abuts the second surface of the first member of the composite window bracket and the first surface of the second member of the accessory bracket abuts the second surface of the second member of the composite window bracket.
