The Outback Blue and Outdoor Home heavy-duty rain gauges are great for gardeners and weather enthusiasts. They have metric and imperial scales, are easy to install, and can withstand all kinds of weather.
A Gauge for Easy Rainfall Reading
Some rain gauges are practically impossible to read, especially glass ones because they’re prone to cracking, clouding, and condensation. If the glass is too smooth, the markings might blend in with the liquid inside, making them difficult to read. But not so with a polycarbonate rain gauge. If you want to track rainfall with ease, then you need the Outback Blue or Outdoor Home tough polycarbonate rain gauge.

Standout Features
Our Australian-made rain gauge's polycarbonate plastic can withstand exposure to the elements without cracking, clouding, or getting discolored. With metric and imperial scales, that can handle most rainfall volumes and comes with a bracket and screws for easy mounting on decks or fence posts.
Fiddle-Free
You don't need to fiddle with any calibration or electronic setup that could be vulnerable to moisture - you can get accurate measurements without any adjustments. All you have to do is check the rain collected against the gauge's scale, record the results, and empty the gauge for the next rainfall.
Where to Install
The company recommends you install a gauge in an open area away from tall trees, large hedges, or buildings - at a distance at least twice the height of the nearest tree or building - to ensure accurate rain collection and measurement. Strong winds can also influence the measurement by as much as 20% because the wind can drive the rain against the gauge. To avoid this, we suggest you place the gauge near low bushes, fences, and other structures that can block the wind and allow you to get a full collection. It's also best to take readings at the same time every day, preferably in the morning before the reading might be affected by evaporation.
