Overview
Tracking rainfall in two places at once is what this Taylor set is for: each clear glass tube shows water level directly against marks along its side. A metal ground spike pushes into the soil to hold each one upright.
Having two gauges lets you compare a garden bed with an open lawn, or keep a spare. The clear tube makes the level easy to read, and the markings are described as weather-resistant. The listing does not give the scale increments, and the post or fence mounting is not mentioned.
Who it's for
Gardeners who want to compare sprinkler coverage or rainfall in two areas will use both gauges. Anyone placing one on a post or fence, or wanting a shatter-resistant material, should look at a different style.
Pros and cons
- Two gauges in one set
- Clear glass for direct reading
- Metal spike for each gauge
- Small and easy to place
- Glass can break if knocked
- Increments not stated in the listing
- No bracket for posts or fences
Performance notes
Rain collects in the clear glass tube and is read against marks along the side, so the reading depends on where the gauge is placed. The metal spike holds it upright in soil, including in wind. Two gauges show how rainfall varies across a property.
