A More Refined Foundation for Outdoor Living
01
Designed beneath the surface so the finished outdoor space remains clean, open, and beautifully resolved.
Conventional plastic umbrella sleeves can crack, loosen, deform, swell,
or become difficult to open after continued outdoor exposure.Foundation replaces that visually ordinary connection with a streamlined
aluminum sleeve designed to integrate naturally into concrete, stone,
pavers, patios, pool decks, and custom landscape installations.Once installed, the sleeve creates a discreet mounting point for the
removable BajaMate Anchor system. When the Anchor and accessories are not
in use, the flush aluminum cap helps restore a clean, finished appearance
at the surface.

with caps that become stripped, clogged, difficult to remove, or seized

sleeve opening and helps keep leaves, dirt, sand, and outdoor debris from
entering the internal chamber.
