Default Umm weird question? Home made fender flares out of garden edging?? anyone??

So I have heard about this from some jeepers. I do not quite understand how I would attach the garden edging to my fenders without riveting them in? I don't have a rivet gun. If anyone has done this anyway you can post some pics and info how to?? Thank you very much!

i just used sheet metal screws and bolts for the front and sheet metal screws on the rear, it was real simple and it looks pretty nice.

$40 vs. $400
Easy...
And looks are a matter of opinion
I think they look great on the right rigs
Some of the highend ones look too flashy and "tomb raider"
I like industrial/steampunk look anyway
The more MadMax the better

personal opinions are a killer, he was asking about garden flares so i showed him my crappy setup, they arent high class but when your rubbing on rocks and trees it dont matter if you crack or break one because when you buy 20 feet of garden trim you can easily make a new one and slap er on there.

To the trolls obviously just trying to incite an argument,
Who said anything about stock flares?
If he wanted stockers they would be there
This is a thread about aftermarket/custom stuff anyway
Why would ANYONE put stock flares back on and already cut fender??
Thats tacky
These flares when done right are way better than any flare
Even metal
Metal wont move out of the way when in a narrow spot
These will

Keep opinions to yourself?
Thanks
