Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where is the best place to install an outdoor rain gauge in my garden?
A: Place your rain gauge in an open area of your garden away from trees, fences, or structures that could block or funnel rainfall. Ideally, it should be positioned at a height where wind interference is minimal — usually ground level or low stake height works well for most garden rain gauges.
Q: How do I read and empty this rain gauge after rainfall?
A: Simply check the water level against the printed measurement scale on the side of the gauge after each rain event. Once you've recorded your reading, pour out the collected water and reset the gauge before the next rainfall for accurate measurements each time.
Q: Is this rain gauge suitable for year-round outdoor use?
A: Yes! The durable polystyrene plastic construction is built to withstand typical outdoor conditions. However, in areas that experience hard freezing temperatures, it's a good idea to bring it indoors to prevent any cracking from ice expansion.
