garage roof joist hanger

Options
all,

i need to change my garage ceiling which does not have any weight on top of it .

Would you run two peice of wood prarallel bolted to the wall which then all joists are hanged off or bolt each joist to the wall individually ?


what is the pros and cons in your view.

Pros for me is less driliing in wall and easier but not sure if it will be strong enough.

I may go on the roof occasionally to clean the windows above it (above the garage there is my second floor window.
