The biggest and most important part of gate installs is safety!
Any old monkey can whack a gate in but it takes a real professional to be able to design and spec a gate that will both operate and fail safely! There's too many instances of little kids getting crushed and decapitated by bodged install gates.
Firstly you need a professional installer to perform a risk analysis of the proposed installation, once the potential hazards have been assessed only then can the appropriate automation equipment and necessary safety devices to minimise or eliminate the potential impact of those hazards be selected. There are many hazards to consider including the collision or crushing effects most commonly associated with swing gates and the shearing/guillotining effects associated with sliders and also many safety devices and installation methods to consider such as meshing and bump strips/ribs, photocells and auto stop motors.
You say that you have little experience of fitting these systems yet you've specced one yourself? I mean this in the most respectful way possible buddy but you really need to consult with a specialist gate automator here. Gates are a minefield and the sector is ripe with shocking installs and bad installers offering cut price discounts for lack of safety gear. What you are planning should be dealt with by an expert of the industry and no one else.
