Using the sundial is easy - you hang it up, edge-on to the sun, and check where the gnomon's shadow falls on the dial. In my laser-cut version, the inside of the dial is very dark, so the shadow doesn't show up very well.

Vertical sundials are designed to your exact longitude and latitude to ensure they perform as accurate time pieces. The dial plate has a gnomon, an object used to cast a shadow, and hour lines to indicate the passing of time.

With a 9.5-inch diameter sundial face and a height of 22.75 inches, this piece seamlessly integrates into your outdoor decor. Simple to install, this decorative sun clock comes with easy-to-follow instructions and necessary hardware (Phillips-head screwdriver not included).

This unique piece tells the true solar time anywhere in the world using just the power of the sun, achieving surprising accuracy estimated by experts to be better than +/- 10 minutes. Once set up it is also a model of our planet with the bridge parallel to the earth's axis, so it can thus be used as a precise compass too.
