Decorative rain gauges have gained popularity among weather enthusiasts and novices alike in the recent years. A decorative rain gauge is - - as the designation suggests - - a rain gauge that is decorative in personality. < / p>

A decorative rain gauge is a comforting and interesting sight in your backyard or front lawn on those dank, stormy days. It will perform all the functions of a regular rain gauge: it will tell you how many millimeters or inches of rainfall you just had. < / p>

At the same time, it will look good while doing it. < / p>

You can use decorative rain gauges to add accents to your backyard, your lawn, a patio, deck, your living room ( though it won ' t serve any functional purpose there ) - - pretty much anywhere. < / p>

You can have a decorative rain gauge shaped like a flower, a dog, a frog, a bird - almost anything you can think of. They look really good and they tell you how much it rained, what more could you ask for? < / p>

Most decorative rain gauges, much like any other rain gauge, can be staked into the ground. They can also be mounted on a higher surface such as a railing or a pole. In terms of functionality, it is recommended that a rain gauge be mounted on a higher surface for more accurate measurements. < / p>

A rain gauge that is mounted on the ground risks " contamination " from nearby objects, such as water dripping into it from a tree. If mounted on a higher surface all by itself, you can be sure that all that will fall into it will be rain water and hopefully nothing else. < / p>

Whatever the case may be, a decorative rain gauge is definitely one way to add a trendy touch to your home decor - - whether indoors or outdoors. When they are available in so many shapes and sizes, you are sure to find one that you and your family loves. < / p>

The above is just a bit of information. Head over to Decorative Rain Gauges< / a> to get a complete look at how rain gauges work, wireless rain gauges ( yes they have those ), and find out how you can use decorative rain gauges to accent the outdoor space at your home, and may even indoors. < / p>
