BajaMate On-Deck Gather Table System – Aluminum Umbrella Table & Anchor
BajaMate Gather Collection
A lighter way to bring oversized shade and gathering space to the pool deck.
The BajaMate On-Deck Gather Table System combines a lightweight aluminum Anchor adapter with a precision-built aluminum tabletop to create a convenient place for drinks, snacks, conversation, and full-size umbrella shade.Designed for pool decks, patios, hardscape, landscapes, and other dry-side installations, the system works best with a BajaMate Foundation sleeve and also fits many existing builder-installed plastic pool and deck sleeves.The aluminum configuration may be used in areas with temporary water exposure, but it is not intended to remain continuously submerged. Choose the 316 stainless steel Gather system for permanent in-pool use.24″

Shade and Table Space Without a Bulky Base
01
A clean, sleeve-mounted connection that keeps the deck open while bringing shade and gathering space together.
A compatible umbrella pole passes through the center opening in the aluminum tabletop and into the Anchor adapter below. The top alignment cap and precision reducer rings help improve pole fit while keeping the umbrella centered within the system.Because Gather mounts into an installed pool or deck sleeve, it eliminates the need for a large freestanding umbrella base occupying valuable space around the table, seating area, or walking path.The result is a cleaner outdoor arrangement with a convenient tabletop positioned directly beneath the umbrella canopy.Built for Decks, Patios, and Outdoor Spaces
