Q: How do you read a rain gauge from a distance?
This jumbo rain gauge uses large graduations and a brightly coloured float that's readable from as far away as 50', so you don't have to walk out to check it.
Jumbo Rain Gauge
With large graduations and a brightly colored indicator float, this rain gauge is easy to read from as far away as 50'. Measuring up to 5" of rainfall, the plastic tube is calibrated so that the float rises 4 1/4" for each inch of rain – even a light shower registers clearly.
The 26 1/4" gauge mounts on a post with a supplied plastic bracket (screws not included) and simply lifts out of the bracket for drainage. A great assist for the conscientious gardener.

This jumbo rain gauge uses large graduations and a brightly coloured float that's readable from as far away as 50', so you don't have to walk out to check it.
It measures rainfall up to 5" before it needs to be emptied, with the float rising 4 1/4" for every inch that actually falls.
Yes, because the float amplifies each inch of rainfall into 4 1/4" of movement, even a light shower registers clearly instead of blending into the bottom of the scale.
Yes, the plastic bracket for post mounting is included, but the screws to attach it are not.
The gauge lifts straight up and out of its mounting bracket, so you can tip it out to drain and then set it back in place.
