FAQs
Can the Keeper Goals Motorized Gym Divider be customized to fit my facility?
Yes. The Keeper Goals Motorized Gym Divider can be custom-designed to fit the specific dimensions and layout of your athletic facility. Options for material; color; height; width; and configuration can all be tailored to your space and intended use. Whether you need a divider that allows visibility between sections; blocks the view entirely; or includes features like a weighted vinyl base to keep balls from rolling underneath; the system can be built to your specifications.

What is the difference between flex-mesh and standard mesh for the Keeper Goals Motorized Gym Divider?
Both flex-mesh and standard mesh are strong; durable materials that hold their shape well over time; making them solid choices for the Keeper Goals Motorized Gym Divider. The key distinction is visibility; flex-mesh is easy to see through and is available in a wider range of colors; with white; gray; and black being most common. Standard mesh allows light to pass through but does not offer the same level of see-through visibility as flex-mesh; and is most commonly available in white and black; though additional color options can be provided upon request. Your choice between the two will depend on whether visibility between sections of your gym is a priority.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Keeper Goals Motorized Gym Divider?
The primary advantage of the Keeper Goals Motorized Gym Divider is ease of operation; a single person can raise or lower the divider without assistance.

Installation and ongoing maintenance can also represent a more significant investment. Additionally; the divider must be stored in-between or under ceiling beams when raised; and the building must be structurally suited to support the system. Keeper Goals recommends discussing your specific situation with their team to determine whether a motorized system is the best solution for your facility.
