Taylor 2700N ClearVu Rain Gauge with Post Mounting Bracket, Measure and Monitor Precipitation, Easy to Read for Backyard, Patio, Garden, and Lawn, 5-inch, Clear

I wanted a rain gauge but hated the colorful plastic ones at the hardware store that seem so popular. Of course places like Anthropologie and Pottery Barn had gorgeous ones, but I couldn’t justify spending $60+ on a rain gauge. This one is super pretty but affordable. Stuck it in the ground and let it do its thing. So far no rain, so unsure about durability and functionality, but it seems to be good quality. I did accidentally drop the glass part (it comes separate from the base) when I slipped on our hardwood floors and no cracks or breakage occurred, so seems durable!

this rain gauge is easy to read and seemly accurate unless your pranking neighbor comes over and adds water to your gauge;-). I left my old gauge which was actually the same type of gauge and it froze and cracked so this is an exact replacement.

This is plastic so will not shatter in the garden. However, it will crack if full and freezes, as I found out. So best put in away for the colder months. It also will fade in the sun. But easy to read from across the yard, reasonably accurate and moveable.

i HAVE HAD ONE OF THESE FOR YEARS AND HAD TO REPLACE IT THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF AGE AND IT GOT CRACKED. I DO LIKE THIS BRAND AND IT IS SO EASY TO INSTALL AND TO SEE.

The gauge can be mounted to a post and be easily removed to empty it.

Nicely done. Bigger than I expected, but that just makes it easier to read.It's great to know exactly how much rain we received...

I liked the simplicity of the design, which probably is as accurate as can be, but only a relatively small part of the scale shows rainfall of less than 2", making smaller amounts of rainfall hard to read from a distance. While extreme rainfall of up to 6" is interesting to note, I bought a rain gauge so I could judge if my plants need watering thus easy reading at less than 2" is important to me.

Glad to finally have a way to KNOW how much rain we are getting. The old method was - how much water is in the bucket that got left out? Was there already water in it? Can I guess?Now we KNOW. One is up by the house and the other is down in the garden. Yes, rainfall can be different between the two, but now - no more guessing.Easy to read.
