Greater Goods Blue Jay Rain Gauge

The stake is designed to be pushed directly into the soil. While there is no specific depth requirement, we recommend inserting it at least 6 to 8 inches to ensure the gauge remains stable and upright during windy conditions.

Yes, the glass cylinder is designed to be easily removed from the metal holder. This makes it simple to empty collected water and clean the glass to maintain accurate readings.

The gauge is constructed with weather-resistant materials intended for outdoor use. However, like most metal garden decor, prolonged exposure to harsh elements may eventually cause minor weathering or patina development over time.

This is a manual, analog rain gauge, which relies on direct collection. While it provides a reliable and immediate visual measurement of local rainfall, it does not offer the data logging or precision of a digital weather station.

The glass vessel is a standard size, but Greater Goods does not sell individual replacement cylinders. If the glass breaks, you may be able to find a generic replacement cylinder at a local garden center that fits the dimensions of the metal holder.
