OUTWEST TRADING PROFESSIONAL OUTDOOR RAIN GAUGE FOR YARD - HEAVY DUTY

Site Selection

Correct placement of the rain gauge in your yard is critical. The rain gauge should be placed outdoors in an area to avoid wind, such as on a fence. Large objects, such as buildings and trees, can block the rain from getting to the gauge. Install the rain gauge no closer in distance than the height of the surrounding objects.

Installing the Gauge

It’s quick and easy to install. Just screw the base plate to a fence post, deck rail, mailbox, or other post, and then slide the rain gauge on. Simply mount the gauge on a stable, flat, level surface, like a fence, deck rail, or post. To install the gauge, use at least two screws (not provided) to secure the mounting plate. Simply slide the rain gauge onto the mounting plate. Check to ensure that gauge is level.

Maintenance

Remove gauge from mounting bracket to empty out any debris. The flat base makes for easy cleaning. The rain gauge may be gently washed with soap and water. Do not allow water inside of gauge to freeze.
