Abstract
A stanchion for supporting a structure includes a bracket configured to be coupled to the structure, a threaded rod coupled to and extending from the bracket, and a housing having a first end adjacent the bracket, a second end opposite the first end, and an engagement member positioned within the housing between the first end and the second end. The engagement member has threads that engage the threaded rod. The stanchion also includes a connection body extending from the first end of the housing and engaging the bracket to selectively inhibit rotation of the housing about the threaded rod. The housing is rotatable about the threaded rod to temporarily deflect the connection body away from the bracket and adjust a length of the stanchion.
