New Wall Tent Build, Need/Want Advice

Awning I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do an awning out the front. Should I just do a single pole and strap the tarp down with guy ropes to the side? Should I frame the awning just like the rest of the tent? Should I floor it like the interior of the tent? Just wondering what has...

Angles Arrived this Morning Thank you for the information so far. I think a window or two and even a screen door on the front would be a great addition for warmer weather camping. I will be cutting the conduit today and will cut it to the size of the tent currently and make sure it is taut when...

I was fortunate enough to just buy my first real canvas wall tent. It's a 10x12 with 12 oz double fill. I found it new on CL. It's got the stove pipe hole, no windows, a 12" sod cloth, and measures about 5'5" at wall height and 9'6" at peak. I'll be taking it out in two weeks to get some use out...
