Still, it's sturdy and measures rain well. **Q: Great question concerning the front yard. I don't have a yard at all, it is a ranch. Will the 704-1531 still work or should I consider another model?** A: It should work fine in any "open" area. You can stick it in the ground or mount on a post/fence. Just make sure not underneath a tree or something. Also make sure you mount it in a way that you can empty it after gaining the measure you are tracking. **Q: Is this a 12" OR 5" gauge???** A: It's 12" tall but measures up to 5" of rain. **Q: Where can I get the mounting hardware “sold separately”? This is so dumb** A: Yes any screws that have a head smaller than the holes in the gauge base ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to read. *by D***R on April 29, 2025* The solid blue background makes this rain gauge very easy to see from a few feet away. It is very sturdy made of heavier plastic than any I have purchased in the past. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very easy to read and sturdy *by J***V on April 18, 2025* This is a large and sturdy rain gauge. It is very easy to read. I already have one of these--I got this as a backup in case the one I currently have gets broken. I use it to know how to run my outdoor sprinklers. If it rains enough naturally, I shut off the sprinklers for several days to save both water and money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Sturdy and with a Magnified Easy To Read Display *by J***. on June 7, 2025* Very sturdy and easy to read rain gauge. This is the second one we’ve owned and the first one didn’t do well in freezing temperatures as it cracked the plastic so the rain would leak out. This one we will not leave out in the winter. ## Frequently Bought Together - La Crosse 704-1531 Large Magnifying Easy Read 5-Inch Capacity Acrylic Rain Gauge, Black-Blue - AcuRite 5" Capacity Easy-to-Read Magnifying Rain Gauge, Acrylic (00850A3) - La Crosse 705-109 Waterfall Rain Gauge --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/80562233-la-crosse-704-1531-large-magnifying-easy-read-5-inch](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/80562233-la-crosse-704-1531-large-magnifying-easy-read-5-inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
