I have two near 7 footers, plus 15 more from the bags. Luckily have an area with a vaulted ceiling. I use two things meant to hang backdrops for photo/video shoots that can go up 10" and hang a few lights on that. My bags are 15G for the photos.
If you have a garage that isn't too much of a mess you can always pop them in and out of it during the worst of the wet.
