We just pile them up in different open-topped wooden containers, according
to size but we've probably got more space than domestic gardens to have
several wooden 'skips' up by the oil tank. When new pots are supplied they
come in long mesh 'stockings'. If you can get hold of something of that
sort, it might help your problem. But the wooden containers wouldn't be
difficult for anyone to make if they're reasonably handy with a hammer!
Then the pots are stacked together and lie on their sides.

I can see where I go wrong of course, I accept pots from all and sundry
which means I have about four different shapes for every diameter

Well, if you *want* to make life difficult for yourself.....! At a
swimming pool the other day, I saw a sort of metal thing like a sturdy
playpen, containing all the floats etc. they used for children. It was on
wheels and I thought that could be a useful object for things like your
plant pots. I suspect it's rather expensive, though. But perhaps an
old-fashioned playpen, rather than one of the 'lobster pot' ones, would do
the trick.
