You can get some nice burlap (in many colors) from the James Thompson company in Maryland. $1.70 a yard (42" wide). I used the oyster color and had to use double layers so as not to see the yellow 703 peeking through the weave (still breathable.) You can also buy flame ******ant spray by the gallon (use with air compressor or regular squirt bottles). In the end you're looking at about $4 a yard vs. $15-$20/yd for Guilford. Yes the burlap is a bit bulkier and not as smooth of a texture but still a very respectable finish if done right.
