Default masonry courtyard wall - how to build a 45 degree corner


Instead of using standard 8 x 8 x 16 cement blocks, why not use 45°
Degree Outside Corner blocks?

Look at the third block from the bottom of this page:

Hi,

I plan on building a 3 or 4 ft courtyard wall. I would like to use
lightweight concrete block, dry stacked, and covered in a fiberglass
reinforced stucco (e.g. QuickWall). The wall is not load bearing. My
designed calls for some 45 degree corners. Is there a standard method
to get the 45 degree corner with standard 8 x 8 x 16 cement blocks
(CMUs)? The QuickWall manufacturer recommends a tight running bond
pattern for the dry stacked block. Thx.
