Congratulations
You have just re-invented the "cargo hammock" or "storage hammock"
If you have a good Navy surplus store nearby, you can get commercially
made ones. If not, you can get cheap "pickup truck cargo nets" in the 6 x
8 foot range.
Screw-eyes will work OK for hanging them, IFF the load isn't too heavy and
the overhedad supports are sturdy.
You could also consider putting in hooks, and hanging a piece of plywood
as an overhead hanging shelf.
Or extend the existing shelving higher and get a ladder.

My latest bright idea, an 8x10 net (maybe 10x12) to
hang from the garage
ceiling to hold all my big empty boxes, bags of filler, etc. (a good
portion of my garage has a 14' ceiling, so I have a lot of "room" even
above head height. I'm am not entirely sure what one end will be anchored
to, but I am so jazzed at the thought, that most likely I will run out
first thing in the morning and buy and put up the net (anything netlike
should be fine). Lets just say that right now my empty box and foam
collection takes up about one 8x10 rooms worth of my garage and house.
