Just interested in the green contraption in the photo above. Not the tent itself.

I may not be all there but I ain't THAT crazy!

Could be fun if the wind starts blowing from the wrong direction!

I actually have that orange tent, couldn't find the arc in the USA though. When I was using that tent, if I wanted some kind of front porch, I would string up a tarp in front of the tent. Only used that tent when I had my truck really close and only then if I was planning on making a base camp and staying a while!! I've never seen the arc and couldn't find any US based internet sites that sell it and that was like 2 years ago!!!

You can modify an existing tarp with a channel to slide in some tent poles to create a similar effect. Maybe one of the current cottage manufacturers can hook you up with a custom job?
OES does custom work as does BWDD. I read great things about both of them. Forgive me if I left out anyone else.
