The Moss company, , bought out by MSR, had a Velo , it had a porch awning, on one side to park 2 bikes under, but, It weighed 10 pounds .
not made at present

USA made Stevenson Warmlite tents are good , Hoop tent, they are made with a double wall in the center between the hoops.
one of the options is to have it made with an awning on the sides [2 sippers] and a Mozzy window outside of the inner wall .
It has a inverted U zipper in the inner wall to open and close the liner and cover window
with out getting out of the sleeping bag.. maybe 3 pounds , all Sil Lite fabric.
you have color options ..

Oh and its all one piece, and as a hoop tent, You can put it up in a pretty stiff breeze,
the 2 person one has 2 stakes on the door end, one on the foot.

Stake down the foot with one stake on the windward direction,
poles go in the sleeves , tent stays flat on the ground.
then in one motion the tent goes up and the other stakes go in.
No wresting the tent and rainfly separately and maybe
having parts blow away from you.
