NOTE
The base plate may be mounted to hard surfaces like concrete by
replacing the pegs with screws and rawl plugs. For temporary
mounting on hard surfaces use heavy weights on the four corners of
the base plate. The height of the weights should be kept as low as
possible to cause the minimum interference with the aerodynamics of
the rain gauge.
