The gauge itself should stick out of the ground about 6 inches. If you have any other questions, please contact the AcuRite Loyalty Team at 262-729-4852, we are happy to assist you. Thank you. Have a great day, Rachell AcuRite Loyalty Team **Q: How do you assemble the stake to the rain gauge?** A: Hello Cora, The stake will slide into a slot on the back of the rain gauge. There are ridges to help hold the stake in place. If you have any other questions, please contact the AcuRite Support Team via Live Chat, we are happy to assist you. Thank you. Have a great day, Rachell AcuRite Support Team **Q: Does it work?** A: Yes., it works. We put it on a 4 foot pole in our yard where there are no trees or buildings so that we get an accurate reading. You can also stick it into the ground but this is inconvenient for us because we would have to take it our and put it back every time we mow our yard. **Q: Is it freeze proof?** A: Hello! If you were to leave it outside I would say to make sure that there is not liquid in the sensors that will freeze and expand. However, I would recommend to bring it in in the winter to be precautionary. If you have any other questions, please contact the AcuRite Loyalty Team at 262-729-4850, we are happy to assist you.
