Taylor Rain Gauge

This gauge has a maximum capacity of 5 inches. If you are expecting a particularly heavy storm, you may need to empty it once it reaches that limit to ensure an accurate reading.

The gauge is designed with weather-resistant materials for outdoor use. However, if you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, it is best to bring the glass tube inside during winter to prevent it from cracking due to ice expansion.

Yes, the included metal spike is versatile enough to be used for ground mounting or attached to a post. Just ensure you have a secure way to fasten the bracket or spike to your fence so it remains stable during wind.

The gauge features bold, high-contrast black graphics designed for quick visibility. While you will likely need to be within a few feet to get an exact measurement, the markings are clear enough to read without needing to pick up the tube every time.

You can simply rinse the tube with water and a mild soap solution. Because it is glass, avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface or wear away the measurement markings over time.
