Brick 85 degree squint corner - how to do it better on Monday please?

Mitre cut the corner bricks at 42.5°?

Ibstock will cut and resin-bond them as specials, but I doubt it's cheap.

Buttress bricks at 90deg? 5 deg. lost in mortar?

Personally I wouldn't have agreed to 85 degrees. I know it's now too late, but why go for this angle?

Alternatively make a feature pillar which can be square where one wall enters the pier at your chosen angle.

Make the corner at right angles, and have the angled wall enter it a little way along. Then your squinty looking bricks are *inside* instead of *outside*.

Fredxx - thanks, this is the best idea so far, (and I have been asking on several facebook brick groups too) i hope the planners wont mind about an extra 65mm on the wall !

My view is that it doesn't look too bad. I'd just forget about it. :)

You obviously failed the “how to be really OCD” course at school. ;-)

That's what Brian's dog said before it lifted up it's leg pissed on it.

Fredxx, your idea worked, thanks

ps are you the chap near worcester with a super > > >> The brick corner of my new back porch is 85 degrees.

There are local cut & stick brick places .... I bought hundreds of specials for my build .... and needed a pair of particular angle bricks .... dropped plain bricks off, picked up couple of hrs later - perfect. Only a couple of £ per brick.
