Forena was founded at the end of 2023 and began selling the silicone rain gauge it had invented and developed itself in April 2024. The incentive for this was to have a reliable rain gauge for the whole year. Whether it was cold or hot, rain or snow, a sustainable solution was needed.
After countless trains of thought, the idea was born and the first prototypes were brought to life with the help of a 3D printer. Step by step, the final shape and the current design were created. Always bearing in mind that silicone is soft and behaves completely differently to any other material previously used for rain gauges.
Naturally, a reliable supplier with a wealth of experience was indispensable.
The name Forena is made up of Formstabil, recyclebar and nachhaltig (dimensionally stable, recyclable and sustainable). The frost-proof rain gauge combines these 3 points to perfection. Thanks to the new design and the integrated pole holder, we have succeeded in doing away 100% with plastic. All you need is a pole or stick to set up the rain gauge and from that point onwards, you will be well informed about the rainfall. This means that every gardener or gardening enthusiast can decide whether they need to water or whether precious water can be saved.
