The awning in front is two cotton throw blankets, sewn together by hand with an overlap of about 2", so there's a channel in the center that the guyline from the tent door can run through. I did replace the original guyline here with one that's roughly 8 ft longer, to accommodate the awning. I sewed eyelets into the corners of the blankets, and added tassels for fun. The center post for the awning is just a 2x2 furring strip, painted with random extra house paint and paint markers. It's 6'6" tall, and there's a groove in the top to keep the rope in place. The awning is not enough to totally block rain--I really just wanted a sunshade--but it does decrease amount of rain coming through. It does actually need two more posts on the front corners to make the space inside tall enough to stand, which I just did with sticks the next time I set this up.
