However, the place I want to erect this system is not along where I have a ceiling joists, so it is just drywall ceiling there. Question is, will it work with just drywall on top? There is a nut at the base I can turn clockwise to tighten the fit, and the top portion has holes where I can screw the top "shoe" into the ceiling. But will it hold? I tried one and it seems to be very sturdy, but something tells me this is just wishful thinking.
