A new twist on a classic device, our award-winning, floating rain gauge is handcrafted in the USA for a lifetime of durability.
An attractive, all-season garden ornament, the World's Coolest Rain Gauge is easy to read and fun to use.
The solid copper water collection flute fits into a powder coated steel stake. Empty, it's a mild-mannered copper garden accent.
But inside the copper flute, a blue polycarbonate tube and foam float wait
patiently for rain. As rain falls into the collection flute, the blue tube rises to show rainfall levels. You can watch our floating rain gauge in action here.
Some of the many advantages of the World's Coolest Rain Gauge™ include:
Usability: The rainfall measurement tube is brightly marked in 1/4" increments and will measure up to 6" of water. The steel stake is 24" tall to eliminate the bending, crouching and low-level peering common to other rain gauges.
Visibility: Because the rain gauge collection tube floats UP, you can determine the amount of rainfall from up to 30' away just by observing how much of the tube is exposed.
Durability: The solid copper flute will weather gracefully to a rich patina and the steel mounting stake is powder coated for rust resistance. And the measurement tube is polycarbonate—no glass to break. Leave it out in winter if you wish—it's frost and freeze proof.
