Joist Hanger selection for 6x2 Garden Building base?

[revevs]

I've spent way too long trying to work out which type of joist hangers I should use for the base of my garden room/office. Too many options at quite big price differences.

I'm using 6x2 (145x45) C24.

Would these be strong enough - Simpson Strong-tie THM230/47 Mono Truss Hanger 47mm ?

In the past I used these from screwfix, but they are significantly more expensive (I need 64)

I don't mind paying more for the right quality, but if the Strong Tie are enough, at 70p each, that would save me a few hundred £.

Also happy to be told both are wrong and I should look at something else.

Cheaper than a 2x2 and notched joists?

Care to explain, I don't know what you mean

The 6x2 frame and joists for the building are all in place at the moment, just with a couple of screws to hold then temporarily until I add joist holders (or whatever)

Ah ok! I've already got it all in place, taking it all apart for that would be a nightmare! Next time maybe.

I think it'll have to be joist hangers, I just dont know how to tell if the ones I am looking at are 'strong' enough - it'll be an office and gym, some heavy-ish equipment (running machine, maybe a weights machine/setup.

Or similar, depending on joist depth.

A couple of stout nails, partly pre-drilled to ensure they hammer in straight and don't split the wood.
