I think your best bet would be to rig a tarp over the entrance door to stop the rain coming in. I don't think sewing sides on would be a viable option by the look of the tent. If you had sides sewn on then it would block access to the zips from whichever side it was sewn onto when the door was zipped up.

The khyam atrium might be suitable. It is quite adaptable to all sizes of tents, and particularly suits tents with a front hoop like the regatta one.

Look on YouTube for 'how to' videos, it doesn't have to be the same brand of tent, all dome tents are put up the same way.

A six year old can be useful enough. When my kids were young I got them to hold the pin in to the pole. Now they're teenagers and they put up and take down their own tents!
