Cedar Fence w/ Rolling 12' Gate

Greetings BP!

I've just closed on a duplex that came with an extra parcel of land that had a shop on it split into four storage bays. The duplex is neat because it's an L shape on a corner lot. It keeps everything very separate. I have about 152' i want to run a fence for. I'd prefer it to be tall cedar so it looks good and keeps a nice privacy barrier. I need about a 12' gate as I am making a pad for an RV to park next to the storage units. It's actually quite a bit of passive income considering the taxes for the extra parcel are only $95/year. I intend to fix up the storage units a bit and make them more secure so I can up the rent. I wanted to make a cedar fence as I like the look and if maintained last quite a while while creating a nice privacy barrier. The problem i am running into is the gate part. I've never built a 12' gate and/or a rolling gate. Does anyone have any ideas or experience building a wooden gate while using cedar? I know I will still need metal for track and hardware, but figured I could still incorporate cedar into it. I haven't really tried calling any commercial gate installers, but I imagine they would charge me quite a bit. Would love any thoughts! I am going to run 6 new water lines and re-plumb the bottom of two triplexes starting next week and after i finish that project, I'd like to start on the fence project! Thanks All!
