We ordered our keder samples from American Keder, and the samples they sent have a solid "rope" of plastic on the inside of the keder. It is so stiff; as in very, very stiff, that I now realize that stuff won't fold. Is all keder this way, or do some manufacturers put an actual rope inside (which I presume might be more "foldable")?
As this stuff is, I'm thinking that I will need to segment the length of keder into 2, 3, or 4 foot sections just to allow us to fold the awning. Otherwise, the only place we might be able to stow this thing is on the roof in a giant burrito roll of sorts.

I don't remember how mine is, but solid plastic rope seems to ring a bell. I do know it's very stiff, and it doesn't fold easily, but i manage to get it into the storage bag. Its stiff enough that on the screen that feeds through the bottom keder rail, once i get it inserted into the rail, the rest pretty much sticks straight out without being held. That's pretty stiff.
