I'm putting a new garage door opener up and the old bracket the unit hangs from won't work. The joists run across the garage sideways and not lengthwise. Where the new unit will hang is just sheetrock. I have an idea for an adjustable bracket using unistrut. Can it be welded and hold good?

This. Paint plywood white and cut to fit area needed. Secure to joist.
Or remove sheet rock add braces and replace sheetrock.
