Weather struck pointing
What is weather struck pointing and, in general, in what scenarios do bricklayers tend to use this type of pointing?
Expert Trade Answers
"The bottom edge is then neatly trimmed with the use of a straight edge and a sharp knife. Then the joint is finished sloping from the top of the joint to its bottom. This type of pointing gives excellent resistance to adverse weather."

"A superior pointed finish, 'weather-struck and cut', involves the profiled joints being trimmed using a feather-edge and the Frenchman. Traditional pointers did not use trowels to strike the joint, instead using a technique based on tuck pointing"
