This hinge mounted thermometer looks like the type of garden thermometers that used to hang at grandma’s house. Here is the product description:

Shouldn’t a weather instrument be as durable as your house? Shouldn’t it enhance your view while it measures the temperature? We think so! That’s why we use solid brass and copper housings and real glass. These classic thermometers combine practical simplicity with timeless design. Solid brass and solid copper endure well outdoors because they are naturally resistant to corrosion. Left unattended, they will attain a rich, dark patina like that of a copper roof or outdoor lantern. We do not apply a protective coating to the surfaces of our outdoor products because there is no clear coating that lasts as long as the raw metal itself. This dial thermometer is finished in natural brass and uses a 4.25 inch diameter dial face with an outdoor swivel arm bracket for mounting at just the right angle.

If you want one that will sit right in the garden amongst the plants, the River City Clocks 54 Inch Garden Thermometer with Rooster Wind Vane is a great choice. This one will measure temperatures from -40 to 120 degrees. It is durable and tough enough to last for many years. It also has a fun weather vane on top so you will always know what direction the wind is blowing!
