This easy to read thermometer is 54 inches tall and tough enough to last in nearly all outdoor environments for years and years. Its the perfect addition for any new or existing garden or yard. The numbers that display the temperature are 1/2 inch tall which makes them really easy to see from your window, balcony, or porch. The rooster at the top acts as a windvane which instantly tells you which direction the wind is blowing. You don't need a meteorologist to help you decide what to wear any longer! Its also backed by a two year warranty from the manufacturer against worksmanship and factory defects. Some minor assembly is required.
