Keder Rail I.D.

CLAYTAB

Can anyone tell me the I.D. of the Keder Rails on a 320S. Looking to buy some P-Clips to attach my tarp and want to use the Keder Rails if possible.

—changed spelling to “Keder” for future searches, Verna, Admin —

If you search for Keder rail here on the forum, someone did put the exact size on their post. I really don’t know the size.

Great idea!  I’m guessing a few clips could replace the Keder if you can anchor them to the rail.  What’s your plan?

Read somewhere that the round part of the P-Clip slides right into the rail, just then need to attach the P-Clip to the Tarp Rings with a HD Zip Tie. I have  a HD flexible Tent Pole that I can attach to the other end of the tarp to match the curve of the trailer. Buy a couple adjustable Painting Poles for Home Depot. Just not exactly sure what size P-clip to get - I guess I could buy a few and determine the right one if need be. Will post when finished.

The keder rail is generally described as 8.5mm. There are many posts about "do it yourself awnings" and many little gizmos that will fit in the rail securely.  Amazon has things called "Awning hangers", stuff like that.

Someone at the "popupportal" made their own little awning hangers out of paracord, a washer, and a small nylon rod.  I bought some from ebay. https://www.popupportal.com/threads/make-your-own-awning-track-hangers.63064/

Thanks for the comments, going to try the nylon and rope method.
