the stuff you get round the sides/edges of a pop up tent / playhouse?

i.e The stuff that tries to straighten that is sewn into the frame to give it the shape. I am trying to source some but I am failing miserably in tring to find some.

Best suggestion so far as been "Buy a cheap tent and just remove it and attach it to the shape you want"

I'm looking to make a blind for a panoramic roof similar to the kids window blinds you get that fit specific cars

I mean the sort of stuff that is stitched in the seam/edges of this



The glass fibre rods are much stiffer, they flex a bit where as the stuff I am on about will bent a hell of a lot if required

It's like a thin nylon rod in a sleeve id say.

It's the fabric its sewn to that gives it its shape I assume
