This is just a heads up for anybody having the same trouble as me.
I bought a few of these pots some time ago but haven't used them because I have not been able to find a square saucer/drip tray that fits properly. Its a bit pointless buying a square pot to maximise your space and then having to space the pots out cos all thats available is a circular saucer.
Anyway after a long search I found these and they do the job perfectly.

What did you find? I've been searching for some square saucers without success and was resigned to making my own square saucers.

I couldnt find any either so I just use dinner trays and baking trays from the poundshop.

Here they are in the trays.
Almost made for each other .
You can buy these online (just Google it) and work out about £1.99.
Hope this helps

If you use those then you are back to square one so to speak.
It means you cannot put your pots together as per the pic - wasted space.
I've never grew a strain that i could have the pots that close together and to grow them in 11L pots they would be big girls and they will need there space, i've seen it done like that wil sats and people who have trimmed side branches to have just a big cola, its down to your style I guess.
I've ordered some of the round ones for my 6L square pots but I know they'll be fine as I have a fair bit of space between my plants.

Perhaps someone should let the nice people at Greens know about these square saucers? I've seen a couple of threads now with people wanting square saucers - I mean, if you've got square pots why wouldn't you want square saucers too otherwise you go saucer-less or lose space with round saucers (which kind of defeats the point of square pots in the first place).

Haha! Its not just me then!!
I had this problem a long time back & just went for some jumbo garden trays and put multiple plants in, in a row, in each one.
Hope this helps
