The guys who built my garage drilled holes and drove in things that
looked like studs/threaded rod with a little expansion deal on one end.
When they tightened the nut on the topside of the 2x4, it expanded and
cinched the "molly" inside the hole.
It hasn't blown down yet, and it's been up 6 months, if that's any
indication.
(garage is 18x40 with a 17 foot high barn-style roof, so it takes a bit
of wind loading.)
YMMV, of course.
You might also want to price a big garage door. My 16-footer only cost
about $400 installed, I think.
