Oooh, a cute little weekend Cabanon. Excellent.
Well, they did make canopies, rather than extensions for this kind of tent.
We have an Estoril (c 2005) for which I made a replacement canopy/extension as wanted something that offered side protection as well as overhead. You might see it on my profile pics.
I did have the canopy poles admittedly but it's possible you could construct something comparable given the simple shape of the Etna.
The poles comprise two uprights with spikes at the top, with an angled cross bar that connects the two. Another pole hooks onto the centre of the angled pole at the front, and hooks onto the main tent front pole through a small hole.(I hope you're followiing.)
The basic canopy fabric is a rectangle: the rear corners have tapes that go through a hole at the outer edge of the main tent and secure by tying around the front upright (inside). The angled pole is fed through a channel at the front of the canopy. That was it. Guy ropes are hooped over the two side spikes and centre front spike.
I made a new one following the pattern of the basic one but added on sides with windows. I bought the canvas and window material from Esvo.
With a tent like the Etna I'm sure you could do something similar using king poles (for tarps), some canvas, tape, and guys. I made loops with tape, curtain rings and elastic bungee cord for the pegging points.
Google Etna tents or even look on here and you might find some pics of it with a canopy. Other similar tents were the Calais and oooh, I forget. But there are some. I wish they were still made. Easy to put up, solid, and breathable.

Do campers 'peg it'?
