Not burlap but work well and last pretty long.

I used .0032 electric fences wire an sew the two halves together, stuff with rolled up carpet. I also took spray foam to reinforce areas that would take greatest abuse.

That is a nice idea ! Wonder if anyone uses horse stall mats cut and glued together in animal shapes? I used a piece of horse stall mat in front of my shot up foam sheet (8 inches of ep foam with a coir footmat backing sewn up in plastic burlap). Might cut the rest of the roll and make a hog silhouette with reinforced vitals and head ( multiple layers).
