One thought: I assume the nylon version would be waterproof (coated) nylon of some type.
Canvas will breathe, but coated nylon will not. If you made a wall tent from coated nylon, you'd have to make some arrangement for ventilation, I think.
Many nylon tents have a waterproof coated fly that goes over the uncoated (breathable) nylon tent. That's one way to handle it, but it might change your frame arrangement.

How about using one of those old parachutes you see for sale in supply catalogs?...I can picture one of those looking sort of like a dome tent?
