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

What I need is some storage system which will accept the stack of mixed
sized and shaped pots which is the result of the average re-potting
session and stack it away tidily so that next time I want 30 3inch pots
they are all sitting there together waiting for me.

I spent a couple of hours yesterday sorting through the 6 plastic
storage bins under the cypress which is my current storage option,
sorting all the pots into sizes and types, emptying out the cypress
leaves, using the collected rainwater and brown sludge to water the pots
on the terrace, and relocating the resident frogs to the main pond.
