Professional Outdoor Rain Gauge 6 Inch Capacity

Best rain gauge I’ve ever had as far as quality. Easy to mount. Made it through the winter without cracking. The plastic did not yellow. Only drawback is the numbers are a little hard to see.

The rain gauge is really easy to install and the volume of water in the gauge is easy to read, especially when the gauge is held up to the light. Numbering is bold and easily read by an old codger like me. Being able to slip the gauge off and back onto its plastic mounting piece is a great design solution. Our sunlight in South Africa is harsh and a good idea from a friend who also bought the same gauge is that during our dry season, the gauge is kept indoors and a protective cover (an old, used tin will do) is placed over the plastic mounting piece to protect it from the sun's UV rays. The construction of the gauge is sturdy and should last beyond what I am used to.

Wide open mouth is great. Markings could be made easier to read from a distance. Very easy to hang on a fence. Affordable and I would buy again.

The only "negative" is the numbering is clear plastic like the rest so a bit hard to read so I will see if a permanent marker will highlight the numbers for better visibility. And like any glass or plastic gauge just need to be aware of cold temperatures so I do not lose another gauge to cracking because water is in it when the temperature drops too low. That is on me. So far liking it very much.

It was a Christmas gift last year and he loved it, worked good and easy to use. He was very happy with it.

I had hoped to give this gauge five stars. However it gets a serious downgrade for being hard to read. The numbers are large enough. The issue is that they are clear... where they should be black (or some dark color). When it's just been raining, and the gauge is wet on its outside... I find the numbers are difficult to read. Even think dark lines across the face of the gauge indicating inch marks would be helpful. I do agree with other reviewers that the product is nicely constructed. Yet it's about $5 more than it ought to be. Outwest: Please let me know if you come out with a Version 2.0 with clearer markings (even at the same price!). If so, I would be perfectly willing to update/revise my review.

Easy to mount ... easy read .... very durable

Like the large readable numbers on it & thickness of the material.

Rain gauge is great- solid - but numbers hard to read for me have to put my glasses on to read - excellent otherwise!
