Ours froze and cracked. I also added a drop of food coloring in the bottom to make the level easier to see. Review: Nice, simple and easy-to-read rain gauge - Great, simple to use rain gauge.

The gauge itself should stick out of the ground about 6 inches. If you have any other questions, please contact the AcuRite Loyalty Team at 262-729-4852, we are happy to assist you. Thank you. Have a great day, Rachell AcuRite Loyalty Team **Q: How do you assemble the stake to the rain gauge?** A: Hello Cora, The stake will slide into a slot on the back of the rain gauge. There are ridges to help hold the stake in place. If you have any other questions, please contact the AcuRite Support Team via Live Chat, we are happy to assist you. Thank you. Have a great day, Rachell AcuRite Support Team **Q: Does it work?** A: Yes., it works. We put it on a 4 foot pole in our yard where there are no trees or buildings so that we get an accurate reading. You can also stick it into the ground but this is inconvenient for us because we would have to take it our and put it back every time we mow our yard. **Q: Is it freeze proof?** A: Hello! If you were to leave it outside I would say to make sure that there is not liquid in the sensors that will freeze and expand. However, I would recommend to bring it in in the winter to be precautionary. If you have any other questions, please contact the AcuRite Loyalty Team at 262-729-4850, we are happy to assist you.

Ours froze and cracked. I also added a drop of food coloring in the bottom to make the level easier to see. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice, simple and easy-to-read rain gauge *by R***E on March 2, 2017* Great, simple to use rain gauge. Easy to mount on a post and will last for years, in occasionally freezing rain/temps, such as what we have in central and south-central Texas. I bought a couple extra as the one I have is at least five years old. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use rain gauge, wish they were cheaper, I'd buy several *by C***E on November 16, 2025* I love these rain gauges, SUPER easy to use. Made of plastic, they don't last long enough if you live where there's lots of UV sunshine. And the darn things aren't that cheap either. $2 or $3 worth of plastic product, and I think it was ~$15. But I get the same thing again because they're super simple. Star deduction for the high-ish price. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/2379014-acurite-00840a1-6-capacity-yellow-rain-gauge](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/2379014-acurite-00840a1-6-capacity-yellow-rain-gauge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
