The aluminum tabletop is positioned above the waterline during normal use.Gather works best with a BajaMate Foundation sleeve and also fits many compatible builder-installed plastic pool sleeves.24″

Turn the Baja Shelf into a Place to Gather
01
Bring shade and a central gathering surface directly into the water without placing a bulky umbrella base on the ledge.
A compatible umbrella pole passes through the center opening in the aluminum tabletop and into the stainless steel Anchor below. The upper alignment cap and precision reducer rings help center the pole and improve its fit within the system.Because Gather connects through an installed pool sleeve, the tabletop and umbrella remain organized around one central mounting point.The result is a cleaner Baja shelf with more usable space for relaxing, entertaining, and spending time together beneath the shade.Designed for Permanent In-Pool Installation
Aluminum Gathering Surface
Two precision-built aluminum halves assemble around the Anchor tube to create an approximately 24-inch tabletop above the waterline.Sleeve-Mounted Design
The system uses a compatible installed pool sleeve instead of a heavy freestanding umbrella base placed directly on the Baja shelf.Centered Umbrella Connection
The alignment cap and reducer rings help position a compatible umbrella pole within the stainless steel Anchor.Two Anchor Heights
Choose an 18-inch or 26-inch Anchor according to the Baja shelf depth and installed sleeve position.Modular BajaMate Compatibility

How the In-Pool Gather System Works
Foundation
A compatible BajaMate Foundation sleeve or builder-installed pool sleeve creates the permanent mounting point beneath the Baja shelf surface.Anchor
The 316 stainless steel Anchor inserts into the sleeve and creates the elevated, centered connection above the submerged ledge.Gather
The aluminum tabletop assembles around the Anchor while a compatible umbrella pole passes through its center and into the connection below.Marine-Grade Stainless Steel Below the Waterline
316
Marine-grade stainless steel Anchor
Permanent In-Pool Construction
The submerged portion of Gather is built for the pool environment.
The Anchor adapter is manufactured from marine-grade 316 stainless steel for long-term underwater use in properly maintained chlorinated and saltwater pools.This is the recommended BajaMate Anchor material when the mounting system will remain submerged on a Baja shelf, tanning ledge, sun shelf, or other in-pool location.Balanced pool chemistry and routine care remain important for long-term appearance and performance. Conditions outside recommended pool-water ranges can affect even premium metal components.Aluminum Tabletop Above the Waterline
Choose the Correct Anchor Height
Anchor 01
18-Inch
The 18-inch stainless steel Anchor is best suited to many single-step-down
Baja shelves and shallower submerged installations.- Best for many single-step-down Baja shelves
- Suited to shallower sleeve locations
- Provides a shorter vertical extension
- Measured to the top of the Anchor tube
Anchor 02
26-Inch
The 26-inch stainless steel Anchor is best suited to many two-step-down
Baja shelves and deeper installation points.- Best for many two-step-down Baja shelves
- Suited to deeper sleeve locations
- Provides additional vertical extension
- Measured to the top of the Anchor tube
Anchor Height Is Measured to the Top of the Tube
18″ / 26″
Available Anchor heights
Measure Before Ordering
The Anchor dimension is not the finished tabletop height.
The listed 18-inch and 26-inch measurements extend to the top of the Anchor adapter tube, not to the surface of the tabletop.The final position of the Gather tabletop depends on the selected Anchor, installed sleeve depth, shelf elevation, stabilizing plate position, and surrounding pool geometry.Confirm the following before selecting a height:- Water depth above the Baja shelf
- Installed sleeve depth and internal dimensions
- Distance between the sleeve and finished shelf surface
- Desired tabletop position above the waterline
- Umbrella pole length and outside diameter
Designed for Baja Shelves and Tanning Ledges
Baja Shelves
Create a central place for shade, refreshments, and conversation directly within the shallow-water lounging area.Tanning Ledges
Add a convenient tabletop and oversized umbrella connection beside in-pool loungers and seating.Sun Shelves
Transform an open sun shelf into a more functional space for relaxing and entertaining in the water.Pool Ledges

02
Transform many builder-installed pool sleeves into a more versatile connection for shade and gathering.
The Anchor pin fits many existing plastic pool sleeves commonly installed during residential pool construction.This allows some homeowners to add an elevated umbrella connection and approximately 24-inch tabletop without removing the original sleeve or placing a bulky freestanding base on the Baja shelf.Builder sleeve dimensions are not universal. Confirm the internal width, depth, condition, and surrounding pool finish before ordering.For the most complete BajaMate installation, pair the system with a BajaMate Foundation sleeve .Designed for Poolside Gathering
