Highlights

The Jeffersonian Rain Gauge is a practical instrument that also beautifies your outdoor space. Inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s flair for invention, this unique device uses a float and lever design to measure up to 7” of rain in 0.2” increments. As rain fills the vial, the red ball rises, causing the steel arm to climb up the scale. This updated model features a more durable design and includes a solid steel deck mount and foundation rod.

Beautiful gift

I bought this as a gift. The object itself is beautiful. The utilitarian cardboard shipping box is not very attractive - I had hoped for something a little more "dressy". When I opened the shipping box, the rain gauge was set inside.

Cool!

It was not possible to fully zero the gauge--it's close, but still registers 0.1 inch. The glass tube should be wider to collect a larger cross-section of rain and allow the ball to move more freely and displace less of the water.

Glass tube should be wider (more accurate)

Nice addition to any yard

This rain gauge brings a classic flare to my yard. The kids love watching it fill up and reporting how much rain we got. Easy to stake into the ground, and durable.
