Weatherproof cards for station notes
Rite in the Rain 191 Weatherproof Index Cards give sprinkler checks a small outdoor page. The 3 x 5 size can hold a station name, run time, nozzle note, catch-cup reading, rain gauge number, or valve box location.
The card format works well when a gardener wants one note to move from the yard to the controller cabinet or garden record binder.
Useful for measured sprinkler checks
Sprinkler readings are useful when they keep their date, station name, and location. A loose card can carry those details during the check, then return to a dry sleeve or record box after the zone is finished.
Use one card per station or one card per seasonal service pass. Short lines leave room for follow-up notes after a nozzle change, cap check, or valve visit.
What to expect from loose cards
Loose cards need a home. A badge holder, binder pocket, card box, ring, or small pouch keeps them from drifting around the shed.
The paper is made for wet conditions, but the writing tool still matters. Pencil and all-weather pens are common companions for this style of card.
Fit and use
Choose these cards for sprinkler station records, catch-cup readings, rain gauge notes, valve box labels, seed shelf reminders, and short outdoor garden lists.
