Tildenet Rain Gauge

Pleased with this rain gaug3, easy to read, does the job!

Really easy to use but need manually emptying when you want to reset it. This is my third. I feel a little bad re-buying these because of the plastic waste, but nothing lasts too well out in the sun for several years. The plastic gets brittle and can crack. But these are really cheap to replace as needed, and give a nice accurate reading. The shape also means that for low rain they are extra accurate because they gather rain through the wide top opening but are very narrow at the bottom, so 1mm of rain is easy to ready. But as they fill up this "magnifying" effect drops off so for heavy rain two inches can still be registered. Simple and effective. Empty when needed or before rain is forecast to see how much rain each rain shower holds. And it also provides proof of how little rain we do actually get down here in the South of England, relatively speaking, which is handy to refute my son's regular assertions that it's "always raining" :-)

Seems like a good product - had no rain yet, but should do what it's supposed to.

If you get the one with white writing, for the scale, it is accurate. The one with black writing seems off. Quite a bit off. i.e. 3.6mm of rain (from a Davis Vantage Pro 2 station - highly accurate) reads as 5mm in the gauge with black writing. I always have one of these manual ones as a back up. I have reordered another one, please send me the one with white writing :). Value for money though.

These are really good inexpensive rain measures. Clear markings on the side make it easy to read. Not much else to say - good value for money and quick delivery.

Cheap, cheerful and works well. Exactly what I wanted, altho recycled plastic or similar would have been a bonus.

Quite well made, has stood the test of time and lots of rain!!

I thought the bracket came with the product a bit disappointed
