Octagonal Model D50 Umbrella

published

We purchased the large octagonal umbrella from Aaron and Karen 2 years ago and recently purchased our second one for our pool, both times Aaron and Keren's service has been outstanding. The product is excellent and the help and customer service from Aaron and Keren we could not fault. We are really happy with our purchases.

Not a problem, you are a pleasure to deal with could not be more helpful. Please tell Aaron that the base

This company steals from your credit card. Check all review sites including facebook, i'm not the only one.

This company kept my credit card details after a small personal purchase and 6 months later falsely charged over $3000 to my card and promised to credit it back but never did. Do not buy from them they are criminals.

Exactly as ordered. Excellent quality, would recommend to any purchaser.

published

An excellent product. Well engineered and produced. We bought two of the large octagonal umbrellas and couldn’t be happier. They make our pool area look perfectly finished. Tropicover should be proud of their product and are an example to any company hoping to succeed. Tropicover provide excellent service and are very courteous and patient and answered all our questions and queries. We would be happy to recommend Tropicover to anyone considering purchasing an shade umbrella for whatever reason.

A well engineered umbrella

published

I have enjoyed a big black Tropicover umbrella for the past 6 years.It cranks up and down with ease and keeps the sun and rain at Bay. It is beautifully engineered by craftsmen In Queensland and puts every other brand that I’ve seen, well and truly in the shade

Fantastic after sales support

published

Purchased a tropicover umbrella 12 years ago. After many years of enjoyment looked at replacing it but couldn’t find anything else as good. Called the company who suggested just updating the canopy. Came out, serviced the frame and cables then installed a new canopy. Like brand new but much better value than replacing it

Fabulous

published

We love our 5 metre umbrella. It has turned a corner of our garden into a fabulous outdoor living room! It stays almost permanently up all summer and is used regularly throughout the year. Recently our umbrella was damaged in a freak wild storm. Fortunately insurance covered it and we now have a new one! Great service from Tropicover, I would highly recommend their products.

Double Charge on Credit Card

published

In September 2018 we ordered a new cover $1,850 that week our credit card was charged $1850 through a different company, Tropicover used our credit card to pay their supplier but made the payment the exact amount of our purchase. Then in November they charged our card again a further $1,850. Tried to speak with Aaron Cohen he tells me not there problem speak to our bank. We have and their fraud team are looking into it. Great umbrella but not for twice the price. Watch your credit card for months after any purchase.

great product and service

published

I have just replaced the original umbrella cover with a new one .The old one was over 15 years old and showing its age. I was more than satisfied with the old one and didn't really expect it to last as long as it did

4 years on and still good as new

published

We have a 3x3m square umbrella that we have cemented into the slab. It's 4 years old now and we have it up most of the time. There are times when we have forgotten to take it down during a storm and it has remained strong (we get pretty big storms in Brisbane). We've been under it during heavy rain and haven't gotten wet. Possums sometimes use it as a climbing frame and the fabric has withstood their claws and droppings. It cleans easily with a high pressure water hose. My only gripe is that you can't angle it when the sun is low but perhaps that would compromise the strength. Apart from that, very happy with it and would highly recommend.

Thank you Cara. Really appreciate your comment. Tropicover team

Great

published

appointment timing punctual; discussion and suggestions informative and independent; delivery timely; installation trouble free, tidy and efficient; the umbrella purchased is well made, of quality and exactly as presented in brochures; simple to operate and functional as promised; no hidden costs; Tropicover in my experience is an ethical company to do business with. Very happy to recommend.

Big umbrella completes the picture!!

published

We recently had a large 4.5m umbrella installed in our pool area - and it is perfect. Can't wait for summer to put it to best use. It provides an area which we will be able to sit / eat etc - and then can be adjusted to cover a good portion of the pool for swimming. We were quite amazed at the reduction in heat when standing / sitting under the umbrella. We are very happy to recommend Tropicover - very pleased with the attention of Aaron and Darren for a great installation and demonstration of its operation. Was well worth the visit to Moorooka to discuss and see options.

I was blown away at his agressiveness, which lead me to look up reviews...and guess what, it seems everyone has had the same experience!

Thanks for your feedback Saul. It seems to me everybody who deals with Tropicover has the same opinion, if your ever dare have a warranty claim with this company you are going to be very disappointed with the outcome.

Well contact the manufacturers for a replacement part quote. I doubt the commercial quality that it is advertised as. How old is it?
