The last rain gauge was a free give away and it too was plastic and lasted 8 years. Terrible product **Q: If you mount it on a fence, how do you empty it?** A: Two screws in the fence mount the gauge. There are slotted holes on the gauge that allow you to simply slip it off the mounting screws to empty the water. Then slip back in place. Easy to use and to mount. **Q: Are the screws included?** A: Screws are not included. **Q: Why is the 1 inch mark 2 inches from the bottom? The scale is 2 times as large as the measurements there (e.g., 5 in. is actually 10 in. with a ruler)** A: Hello Jenny, Although the gauges may look like they are measuring the collected rain in columns of water measured by height in inches, in reality, they are calibrated to collect the rain that falls on an area of one square inch of soil and then display the reading as a column of water that is one inch tall and one square inch in area. In other words, the calibration marks are supposed to represent water columns that are in cubic inch volumes -- not necessarily as water depth in inches.

It was just mounted stationary, no movement. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heavy rain "broke" my rain gauge! *by Z***Q on 5 June 2016* I know that I could put empty tin cans in the yard to measure rainfall, but that’s so cumbersome. First you have to find a tall straight-walled can, tall enough that the rain doesn’t splash out. Then you have to stick a ruler in the can to measure the depth of water. That’s not very accurate compared to this because in this rain gauge the smaller amounts are amplified by the tapered walls so a small amount of rainfall is magnified to be more easily read. And if it’s still raining, you don’t have to go out in the rain because if you place it where it can be seen from a window you can probably read the level with your bare eyes (if you have good eyes and it’s not too far away). Or, grab a pair of binoculars. Be sure to place the rain gauge in the open, away from interference by tree canopies. I measure the total rainfall for each weather event coming through, then reset the gauge – don’t forget to reset the gauge (pour the water out). I have always wanted a rain gauge and finally sat down to evaluate what was available. This one was priced attractively, looked like it would be easy to read from a distance (it is), and would probably last a few years. I was concerned that the plastic spike would easily break off, so I had planned to use two screws in a narrow piece of sharpened board driven into the ground so I could attach the gauge to the board and remove it easily to dump the water, but I never did that and the plastic spike hasn’t broken off yet. I do try to be careful when sticking it in the ground, however. My only complaint is that it measures only 5 inches, which may not be enough (see my experience below). But I can’t down rate it for that unusual situation, and it does everything else right. I bought this exactly one year ago and the plastic is still clear, but I assume ultraviolet light will eventually take its toll. This a great purchase. In fact, I’ve enjoyed having it so much that I plan to give out this rain gauge as Christmas presents. It’s always difficult to find a present which most people don’t have, but could use and would enjoy having. I think this will make a great, and fairly unusual gift. Thoughtful, yet inexpensive. The weatherman always reports how much rain fell at this airport, that airport, etc. But I know that the sky could fall at my brother's house just a few miles away, and we get not a drop. So I've always wanted to have a way to know exactly how much rain WE got. The only time I really, really wanted to know was during the deluge we got in South Carolina (remember the 1000+ year flood of Oct 2015?). Two measurements taken the first day, added together, totaled 6.5 inches. I dumped the water out just before going to bed, then woke up early the next morning to check the gauge. It had been raining heavily all night and I wanted to know exactly how much we got, but was astonished and disappointed to see that the water was flowing over the brim of the rain gauge while it was continuing to rain heavily. We were supposedly in an area that got some of the heaviest rainfall. We're on a hill so were in no danger of flooding, but sadly I'll never know the exact total amount of the rain we got at our house. I guess you could say the historic rainfall "broke" my rain gauge. ## Frequently Bought Together - AcuRite 5" Capacity Easy-to-Read Magnifying Rain Gauge, Acrylic (00850A3) - JMBay Rain Gauge Outdoor, Accurate rain gauges Outdoors Best Rated, Tall rain Gauge for Yard with Stake, Decorative rain Measure Gauge for Garden, Deck, Lawn with Large Numbers, Adjustable Height - Springfield Indoor Outdoor Big and Bold Dial Thermometer, Wireless Thermometer with Easy to Read Large Numbers for Patio, Pool, and Indoor Areas, 8-Inch, White --- ## 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/258915627-acurite-5-capacity-easy-to-read-magnifying-acrylic-blue-00850a3](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/258915627-acurite-5-capacity-easy-to-read-magnifying-acrylic-blue-00850a3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
