FWIW,
The ZipDee awning I have has a couple of seams perpendicular to the roll. It is a simple ~3/4" lap seam & you can see the raw cut edge of the fabric. There were 2 or 3 stitch lines in the space where the material overlapped.

I wouldn't trust the seam with much tension tho . . . But, since it is perpendicular to the roll, there isn't much.

The seam made for a thicker build on the roll, but I guess it was the lesser of the evils for ZipDee's total product.
