What about using a tarp? We got one from decathlon a few years ago and I’ve used it to extend off the front of the tent. Worked well. Vango have a large one called family shelter that might be worth looking at too.

Don't know the dimensions of your tent. But there are quite a few Universal Side Extentions available out there. Having said that, if I'm right, your tent is a Vis-a-vis, these tend to have steeper sloping sides than tunnel tents, so getting a snug fit might proove tricky.

Closed porch or canopy?

Would the Coleman Classic Awning work?

Do you have the vango tent? Looks huge!
