Taylor Capacity Break and Freeze Proof Flexible Silicone Rain Gauge, Measure and Monitor Precipitation, Easy to Read for Backyard, Patio, Garden, and Lawn, Post Mount or Ground Stake, 7-inch, Teal

This is the first freeze resistant rain gauge I have seen and it works great. It is sturdy, has no leakage, provides a standard appearance, and overall a great value for the money as you don't have to replace it each year after it freezes and breaks as have all my other rain gauges. You can install it nearly anywhere there is an adequately clear view to the sky and it will measure precisely. The printing and floating gauge inside is bright and easy to read.

I have bought 3 other rain gauges. The first one was glass. It would get dirty inside & was hard to clean because it had a narrow opening. It was also hard to see the water measurement unless you got close to it. The next two were a hard plastic. These were easy to see but they both yellowed in time and cracked. I have had this one for about a month. I was surprised when my husband included the removable ground stake when he mounted it on the fence. It makes sense though because it keeps it from moving when the clear bracket the stake has is attached to a nail. You can see it in the 2nd picture I posted. The things I like about this one are: 1. It’s silicone so it won’t break or yellow (I hope it won’t yellow in time!). 2. It’s very easy to see at a distance - big numbers and red ring that shows the water level. 3. It’s easy to attach to a fence - all you need is 2 nails for the brackets to sit on. 4. It’ll measure up to 7 inches of rain - the other I had only measured 6. The one thing you have to be careful with is where you pour out the water because the red ring falls out and you don’t want to lose it.

I really like this rain gauge (1) because it's soft and pliable and won't break if I forget to bring it indoors before a freezing night, (2) the numbers and incremental markings are large so they're easy to read from inside the house (albeit I do have to use my monocular to get closer), and the red floater makes it easy to distinguish what the level is as I'm trying to read it from inside the house using my monocular. My last rain gauge was hard plastic, and it worked beautifully, until one really cold night when the water collected earlier in the day froze and cracked it badly. I don't have to be concerned about that happening with this one. I think Taylor did a great job with this.

I works as it should. It is narrow and deep so it collects dirt. It is easy to install and secure to the fence post where I have it. It is light and I especially like the orange, floating ring that can be seen from a distance and easily displays the water level.

This is a quality rain gauge. Easy to read from a distance. Appears to be a good value for the money.

I like this rain gauge! It’s super flexible and in the late hard freeze I just experienced, it didn’t crack. The only thing I would suggest is that the plastic bracket that holds it should be made of aluminum.

Very nice and well made. Easy to read

I will mention that's since it's silicone, it won't break under freezing temps, and it's easy to mount. However, another innovative feature is the floating red ring that you drop inside the gauge, and this allows easy reading from a distance. It's impressive that such a small feature such as that makes the gauge that much more useful. A well-thought-out product!

Macht was er soll regen messen. Und bleibt bei frost heile.
