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.

This is the best outdoor thermometer that we have purchased.Others have cracked in the elements, but this one is holding up.It has a nice ability to hold a lot of rain water and It was a decent price.We didn't like how it mounted, so my husband made a more secure mount for it.It functions well and the size is perfect to read.

So far, gauge is working well. I like that it is silicone. I had a hard plastic one that I only got to use 3 months because water froze in it and it cracked. It was supposed to not crack from freezing...LOL!This silicone gauge fit perfectly inside the stand of my previous rain gauge. This has a good thickness and it isn't sticky. I think this one should last a few years since it is silicone. The measuring guide is easily to read.

I will mention that's since it's silicone, it won't break under freezing temps, and it's easy to mount. However, another innovative feature is the floating red ring that you drop inside the gauge, and this allows easy reading from a distance. It's impressive that such a small feature such as that makes the gauge that much more useful. A well-thought-out product!

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.

Like how easy to read, install in ground, easy to empty & is sturdy. This is my 4th rain gauge & the best so far. Made a mistake of buying a glass one that broke and one that goes on a fence that doesn’t collect water.

I like that it is silicone and is not suppose to freeze and crack from weather. We shall see. I like it is easy to read, holds 6 inches, and the red marker is clear. I wish a holder was available to boost it up above what it is attached to as if the top is level with the mooring, rain and rain splash both go in so the reading is not accurate. I had to rig it to get it up above the post.

Every winter, i pull my gauge from its mounting spot - well, most of the time. Eventually, however, the plastic does become embrittled, etc. The markings fade. This silicone gauge is your answer. I now get to measure our winter precip. Yes, i could look it up.....but i need the exact precip for my farm, and just for fun. Just get it! Plus it has a nifty red floaty ring - less strain on the eyes, from a distance.
