There's no need to install a new post for this rain gauge and thermometer combination. It already includes a 48" metal mounting post for quick installation and removal. Both the thermometer and rain gauge are mounted to the metal post with swivel brackets so they can be turned in any direction. The dual-scale 15" thermometer measures from -40°F to 120°F (-40°C to 50°C) in bold, easy-to-read numbers. The 12" dual-scale rain gauge measures up to 7-1/2" (190 mm) of rainfall in 1/16" and 0.1 mm graduations. The sturdy metal mounting post can be disassembled into three pieces for easy storage. Imported.

Comments about Post-mounted 7-1/2''-capacity Rain Gauge and Thermometer:

Convenient rain & temperature measure in one station, However, needs to be in open area for accurate rain measure, but in shade for accurate temperature measure. Previously I had a similar unit which had a one piece plastic pole. This unit has a 3 section metal pole. The sections do not fit tightly & the pole wobbles slightly. I'm also concerned about rust since the unit is planted in soil.

Rain Gauge Good, Thermometer not so much

Comments about Post-mounted 7-1/2''-capacity Rain Gauge and Thermometer:

The rain gauge appears to be accurate but the thermometer registers much higher than the air temperature because the unit needs to be in the open for the rain gauge to function which puts the thermometer in direct sunlight. Since I really just wanted the rain gauge though I am happy with the unit overall.
