There are a lot of rain gauges available today. Some cost just a few dollars. Others are sold under dozens of different brand names online. Many look surprisingly similar at first glance.
So what makes the World's Coolest Rain Gauge® different?
For us, it starts with a simple idea: build a rain gauge that gardeners and weather enthusiasts will still be enjoying years from now.

The World's Coolest Rain Gauge® was introduced in 1999 and has been helping gardeners, homeowners, and weather watchers track rainfall ever since.
Over the years, we've received thousands of customer comments, questions, suggestions, and stories. Those conversations have helped shape and improve the product while reinforcing what matters most: durability, simplicity, and reliability.
Many products come and go. We've spent more than 25 years focused on doing one thing well.

Built With Materials Designed for Outdoor Life
Rain gauges live outside year-round. They experience blazing summer sun, heavy rain, snow, ice, wind, and everything in between. That's why material selection matters.
Our gauges feature:
- A solid copper collection chamber
- Durable powder-coated steel mounting hardware
- A clear polycarbonate measuring tube
- A winter-safe design
- Replaceable components when accidents happen
The goal isn't to create something disposable. The goal is to create something that can be enjoyed for many years.
We Stand Behind What We Make
Every World's Coolest Rain Gauge® includes a lifetime guarantee on the solid copper collection chamber and a five-year limited warranty on steel and plastic components.
We also offer replacement parts because we believe outdoor products should be repairable whenever practical.
The Original Floating Rain Gauge
Over the years, many similar-looking floating rain gauges have appeared on the market. But we created the original floating rain gauge design and have continued to refine it for more than two decades.
While imitation products may look similar in photographs the materials, construction methods, warranty support, and long-term durability can vary significantly.
A Small Company That Answers Email
One advantage of being a small company is that customer service remains personal.
If you have a question about installation, winter use, maintenance, replacement parts, or anything else, there's a good chance you'll receive a response from someone who actually knows the product.
Designed to Be Both Useful and Beautiful
Most rain gauges are either practical or decorative. We've always tried to create something that does both.
The World's Coolest Rain GaugeR helps track rainfall while adding a distinctive copper accent to gardens, flower beds, patios, decks, and landscapes. Many customers tell us they purchased one for themselves and later returned to buy more as gifts.
Thank You
The biggest reason we're still here after more than 25 years is simple: customers continue to support what we do.
Whether you're a gardener trying to water more efficiently, a weather enthusiast tracking rainfall, or someone searching for a unique gift, we're grateful you've taken the time to learn more about our company and our products.
