What is the white material that creates the "hinge" to allow it to fold?

Please, make other "trailer cut" maybe 30sec.. I'm hanging here with my cell phone and that takes time to load..

@Dee Bee
please could you post the plans on a different website or could you e-mail them to me? Because that link is dead and I can't find any plans anywhere.
