Tildenet Rain Gauge

Really easy to use but need manually emptying when you want to reset it.This is my third. I feel a little bad re-buying these because of the plastic waste, but nothing lasts too well out in the sun for several years. The plastic gets brittle and can crack. But these are really cheap to replace as needed, and give a nice accurate reading. The shape also means that for low rain they are extra accurate because they gather rain through the wide top opening but are very narrow at the bottom, so 1mm of rain is easy to ready. But as they fill up this "magnifying" effect drops off so for heavy rain two inches can still be registered. Simple and effective. Empty when needed or before rain is forecast to see how much rain each rain shower holds. And it also provides proof of how little rain we do actually get down here in the South of England, relatively speaking, which is handy to refute my son's regular assertions that it's "always raining" :-)

Seems like a good product - had no rain yet, but should do what it's supposed to.

Quite well made, has stood the test of time and lots of rain!!

Bought this as a replacement for an earlier purchase that cracked after a hard frost, and that was a replacement for one that was UV damaged and had turned opaque and unreadable. This particular purchase included a handy chart for recording rainfall which I diligently filled out for most of January, only to discover there were only 29 columns per month - so useful only for February.

It is exactly as stated in the advertisement, it is easy to read and I am entirely satisfied with it.

These are really good inexpensive rain measures. Clear markings on the side make it easy to read. Not much else to say - good value for money and quick delivery.

Cheap, cheerful and works well. Exactly what I wanted, altho recycled plastic or similar would have been a bonus.

Pleased with this rain gaug3, easy to read, does the job!
