The invention provides a folding support (10) for folding a tarpaulin attached to elongated slidable support means. The folding support is manufactured in one piece from plastic and comprises: two end portions (12, 13); two rigid portions (16, 17), hingedly connected via first and second folding lines (14, 15) to the end portions (12, 13); and a flexible central portion (18) that is contiguous with the rigid portions (16, 17). The folding support (10) has a folded open position, in which the central portion (18) has a length of 4 cm to 12 cm, and in which the interior and the exterior of the central portion (18) are concave and convex, respectively, with a sagittal height comprised between 1.5 and 25% of the length (D) of the central portion (18). Due to the small curvature of the central portion (18), facing the exterior of the folding support (10), a greater force is required to move the folding support (10) to a position wherein, when the tarpaulin is slid open, the folding support (10) folds inward.
