An keder rail and clamping anchor secure keder fabric to a building support beam. In one embodiment, the clamping anchor clamps about the support beam. In a second embodiment, the anchor passes through the support beam and compresses a pair of laterally extending keder rail feet against the support beam. A temporary keder rail anchor has a transitional member, support beam engagement, and keder rail engagement that displace and hold the second embodiment keder rail to an offset position relative to support beam prior to and during installation of keder fabric within the keder rail. A method of tensioning keder fabric uses this holder to secure the keder rail adjacent an edge of the structural beam while keder fabric is inserted. The holder is released and the keder rail is centered on the beam to tension the keder fabric, and the keder rail is secured to the structural beam.
A keder rail anchor operative with a generally planar top surface of a support I-beam and a keder rail and configured to support said keder rail in a position to receive flaccid keder fabric, said keder rail anchor comprising:
