I put big bicycle type hooks overhead in my storage compartment, the rods go up there resting in the hooks. Just make sure you don't turn the hooks in to far, that board in the top of the storage compartment is only about 1/2-inch thick, but thick enough to hold those rods just fine.
Actually I have all kinds of hooks in my storage compartment to store darn near everything, yet it's all still easily accessible and not piled on the floor. You just have to make sure you don't got to deep when mounting the hooks, don't want to poke a hole through the wall.
