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

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.

After breaking the glass one we had 2 years in a row after replacing it, we said no more! Nice and big with a red ring inside so you can easily see the amount of rain in the gauge. Great value/price. Would buy again and recommend to others.

Finally freeze proof!!!!!! I’ve wasted so much money on ones that freeze and break, and I can see the increments easy since they are black.

Great size and readability. I love that it is unbreakable and has the red float to enable reading from a distance. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because it tends to lean forward It needs two attaching screws instead of just one to make the base more stable.

Great little old-school rain gauge. Easy to read and very accurate compared to my electronic one.

One of the best purchases on Amazon.Ive had this item for one year left it outside over winter it was buried in a snow drift when I uncovered it I saw it was folded over to my surprise it popped right back to its original shape. Well worth the money

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.

It's nice to know that freeze won't damage this gauge. Since it is tapered, the scale is stretched a bit to compensate, and the numbers agree pretty closely with non-tapered glass tubes. Floating ring makes it easy to see the level.
