Clunkstar is on the money there mate!
Alternatively Bunnings has some other dodgey options I've seen done by mates ;-)https://www.bunnings.com.au/search/products?q=garden%20edging&redirectFrom=Any
Just don't choose the fence picket style edging as the boys in blue wouldn't appreciate it :-)

Don't do bunnings flares, I've been there and it's average at best.

I'm running Bushranger Flexi flares and they look mint!!!

Yep I'm mr paranoid with rust so I drilled the holes primed painted and used stainless pop rivets but bolts would be fine.

I also wanted max clearance so didn't want bolt heads sticking out either.

They have a wire hole extrusion on the outer edges of the flares and they supply wire to run through and shape so it holds the shape really good and no sagging.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2017/09/61.jpg

Allow a few hours and take your time to shape each flare. It can be frustrating, don't crack the shits and bend the wire lol

Spray silicone spray down the holes for easy penetration lol

Some small/medium fender washers under the rivot heads can help spread the pressure too across the rubber face.

Yeah sorry i forgot to mention that, I put small washers to space the load out too.

Builders strap can work well too, just sharp as hell and got me one day on my old trucks with ends not smoothed off!
