outside edges

Peripheral boundary lines

Outside edges are the outermost boundaries of something—the perimeter rather than the interior: Sand the outside edges smooth.

In ice skating and rollerblading, the outside edge is the blade or wheel edge farthest from the body's centerline, used for specific turns and stops.

The phrase often emphasizes extremity: houses on the outside edges of town.
