I've acquired about 12 of these crates (green ones) and I have a vague plan on how to use them.
First, I'd like to know what you would use them for - then I'll tell you my idea.

I have a few, I use them to hold pots of seedlings - It means I can move lots about easily. Fab for hardening off in the Spring... leaving out with fleece over.

I line the sides with empty compost bags and use them to grow things in.
I use a couple as laundry baskets at work.

I have four or five of these and I stack empty pots of the same size and lay them down in these crates, then stack them on top of each other. Works great, because I don't need to use shelves for them in the shed

I would fill each one with logs stacked on top of each other close to my back door with a cover over top one. It would then be a simple matter of picking a crate of logs up and taking it indoors for that days burning.

I think I would use them as storage in the potty shed. I expect you're going to stack them somehow and plant trailing things in them.

I use them for ferrying peppers and tomatoes to and from the greenhouse during April and May.

Crikey! They cost about twenty quid each. Where have they been liberated from?
