A precision aluminum pool deck umbrella sleeve for clean, permanent
dry-side mounting.
The
BajaMate Foundation Aluminum Pool Deck & Landscape Umbrella Sleeve
creates a permanent mounting point beneath pool decks, patios, pavers,
hardscape, outdoor kitchens, and professionally designed landscape areas.Its aluminum construction replaces the ordinary look of many
builder-installed plastic umbrella sleeves with a clean metal connection
designed specifically for the modular BajaMate system.When installed, the Foundation sleeve receives a compatible
BajaMate Anchor adapter, which creates the elevated
connection for supported umbrellas, Gather tabletops, and compatible
accessories.

Aluminum Pool Deck Umbrella Sleeve for a Cleaner Installation
01
A permanent mounting point beneath the surface keeps the finished outdoor
space clean, open, and ready for the BajaMate Anchor system.
Conventional plastic umbrella sleeves can crack, loosen, deform, swell, or
become difficult to open after continued outdoor exposure.The BajaMate Foundation Aluminum Sleeve replaces that ordinary connection
with a streamlined metal sleeve designed to integrate naturally into
concrete, stone, pavers, patios, pool decks, and professionally designed
landscape installations.Once installed, the Foundation remains beneath the finished surface as the
permanent connection for a removable BajaMate Anchor.When the Anchor and accessories are removed, the matching flush aluminum
cap closes the opening and helps restore a clean finished appearance.
Important: The Umbrella Does Not Install Directly into the Sleeve

Foundation → Anchor → Umbrella
BajaMate System Architecture
The Foundation sleeve creates the permanent mounting point for the removable BajaMate Anchor.
The umbrella pole does
not
insert directly into the Foundation Aluminum Sleeve.Instead, a compatible BajaMate Anchor adapter inserts into the sleeve and
creates the elevated connection above the finished surface.The Anchor can then support a compatible oversized umbrella, Gather
tabletop, or other supported BajaMate accessory.
