Designed for Decorative Rainfall Tracking

The Jeffersonian Rain Gauge brings science, history, and outdoor style together in one practical yard instrument. Inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s flair for invention, this unique rain gauge uses a classic float-and-lever design to measure rainfall while adding a sophisticated accent to gardens, patios, decks, and landscaping areas.

Perfect for gardeners, weather watchers, history buffs, and outdoor décor enthusiasts, it makes rainfall tracking both useful and visually engaging.

Classic Float-and-Lever Design

Unlike basic plastic rain gauges that offer simple measurement only, the Jeffersonian Rain Gauge uses a distinctive mechanical design. As rain fills the glass vial, the stainless steel float rises, causing the arm to climb the scale and display rainfall amounts.

It measures up to 7" of rain in 0.2" increments, with large easy-to-read numbers that are visible from a distance.

Durable Outdoor Construction

Crafted from solid brass, glass, aluminum, and stainless steel, this updated model is designed for lasting outdoor beauty and performance. The stainless steel float will not chip or leak, while the re-engineered gauge pointer can be calibrated for more precise measurements.

The attractive brass finish won’t peel, flake, or rust, and it naturally develops a patina over time.

Easy Placement in Yard or Deck Areas

The Jeffersonian Rain Gauge includes a solid steel deck mount and foundation rod for flexible placement around your outdoor space. Use it near garden beds, patios, walkways, decks, or landscaped areas where it can be seen and enjoyed.

Elegant, educational, and practical, it makes a memorable gift for gardeners, science students, weather enthusiasts, and history lovers.
