How about something like
https://www.homedepot.com/p/NDS-PVC-S-D-90-Elbow-3-in-Hub-X-Hub-3P02/204799=
687
or
https://www.homedepot.com/p/NDS-PVC-S-D-45-Elbow-3-in-Hub-X-Hub-3P03RTL/204=
799691

These are both light weight 3" fittings.

Have you tried to blow at about a 45 deg angle aiming at the wall or fence?=
  The rebound air stream should do what you want with the straight pipe.
