Peter Bate

Was hesitant at first buying plantation shutters online, however was impressed with the quality of the Australian made product. The measurements were spot and in the end easy to install myself. Service was great, had a question which I asked online on Saturday and was very happy to receive an answer on Sunday morning with a follow up phone call on Monday. All in all very happy with quality and service, now my wife wants plantation shutters in the bedroom!

Ivan Byak

matt stevens

Excellent quality. Arrived early cant be happier.

David Broderick

An excellent product with outstanding service from Richard. We installed the timber shutters on over 20 windows and were very pleased with the quality, fit and finish. Rich was great to deal with and his prices were competitive.

Joel Babore

Richard helped me decide what type of shutters to use and the outcome was awesome. I had a decent size order of 13 windows. One window has an arch at the top and Richard looked at a picture I emailed through and helped brainstorm some ideas on it (used Z frame for it). Went hang strips for the other windows which look great and easy to put in. Will be back to get shutters for the rest of the house.

Jamie Kiely

We needed a small (narrow) plantation shutter for our sidelight window next to our front need. Measured up and ordered on the website. Got a follow-up email the next day from Richard who advised on a better mounting selection that would give us a better look.

Shutters arrived today and installation was pretty easy and looks amazing. Very happy, and highly recommend!

Stella Fordham

We absolutely love our plantation shutters and are now in the process of ordering more. Richard has been very helpful in all our dealings and ensured that we get the right shutters for our windows and window frames. Highly recommend DIY Plantation Shutters for quality, value for money and service!

Richard at DIY Plantation Shutters has been a pleasure to do business with he gave good advice on how his products might suit our application and the end product has well exceeded our expectations. He arranged a replacement part that had been superficially damaged without any request from us. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company and there products.

Andrew Bennett

Great service and assistance. Shutters were really good quality and packed very professionally. Easy to install, perfect dimensions, as ordered, and look great. We were kept well informed of delivery progress and they were perfectly timed to site at a remote location. Highly recommend !!

Roger Stanhope

I was a little worried as i am not that handy although the overall savings could not be resisted (I was quoted $12,000 and DIY was under $7,000). I went for it and the installation was very straight forward with the guide online. The quality of the shutters is better than what i had in my last property. Thank you

Tom Anstey

We searched a lot for a diy plantation shutter company that had a good website, was easy to order & well priced! Well let me tell you, these guys topped all the things and more. The process was easy and they had plenty of options but to top it off the price was great! When it came to delivery we had selected pick up....well because of covid we couldn't do that and within 10 seconds of telling them this they had organized shipping and was picked up that day. A few days later delivered! Bloody legends! After getting about 200 tools ready for the dreaded install, I opened the boxes and really didn't need much at all. They are simple to install and take no time to put up. They look fantastic too! Anyway anyone reading this, contemplating if they should get them, look no further then DIYPLANTATIONSHUTTERS. They will save you loads and are perfect
