Tent and marquee systems use keder to connect coated fabric tops, sidewalls and panels to structural rails. The keder profile slides into the rail and helps hold the fabric in position under outdoor tension, repeated installation and changing weather conditions.
For tent manufacturers, event structure suppliers and fabricators, choosing the right keder affects installation speed, rail fit, fabric edge strength and long-term performance.
How Tent Keder Works
Tent keder is attached to the fabric edge by welding or sewing, depending on the fabric and production method. The rounded keder core then slides into a track or rail, creating a secure connection between the fabric panel and the structure.
Important Selection Factors
-
Rail size and track profile
-
Keder diameter
-
Flap width

-
Custom color or OEM requirements
Why Full-Bond Construction Helps
Tent and marquee keder may be pulled through long rail sections, rolled for transport and installed repeatedly. Full-bond construction helps create a consistent connection between the coated fabric and the core, supporting better reliability in demanding fabric structure applications.
