Okay, got one more in me. Here is my solution to store sheets of plywood and other sheet goods in a minimal space.

It is basically a frame of 2x material that is angled back against a wall so leaning sheets are fully supported to prevent bowing. But it has two cool features.

The first is a slanted base. Because of this, as sheets are added, gravity moves each one tightly against the next so all sheets are angled and flat against the supporting frame. The second feature is the addition of two strong ropes that can clip into eye hooks embedded in the base. By adding in some slack, you can tilt the entire pile toward you safely as you sort and search your stash of plywood.
Here is close-up of that base:
