metal cladding roof on a shed leaking question

    I have a small shed at rear of property with a metal cladded roof, but it's leaking a little and i think it's because there are no "barges".

    There's nothing protecting the edges of the roof and i think water is getting in between the cladding and the felt and running down and pooling at a low spot.
    I noticed the felt was wet at a spot during the last rain.

    Are barges pretty standard or what should i be getting?

    Is that the front or back?
    where is the gutter?
    Barges can be got to match the profile but the sheeting will need adjusting, the top will have foam infills in the valleys

    That is the south face on right, and the west face on left.
    Entry door is on the west face.

    The gutter is at the north face, not pictured.
    The roof pitches from South to North.

    Oh there are no foam infills that i can see.

    But Flashing and Barges aren't the same thing right?

    I built my own shed during covid and this what I used for the three sides, I got a foam filled to match the profile to stop driving rain getting in under it on the top edge
    It came in two sizes, an 8" and a 10", or maybe 6 and 8, I went with the bigger one on top and used plenty of the foam inserts
