My driveway gate ...

ok. I have a driveway gate that I need to automate. I can't leave it open all the time because of the dog, but opening and closing it manually is getting to be a pain. I need to figure out how to work this.

Currently I am thinking of getting a garage door opener and using that, to save time on the electronics. This would mean having to build a little shelter to keep it dry. Good news is that I d have some left over shingles to use on its roof, a bonus. The connections to the gate to allow it to swing back into a LOCKED/Secure position is 1 key. I think I also need to figure out how to allow it to open manually when needed.
