Just read through this real quickly. It's an interesting problem to solve.

The real answer is to have a turnbuckle that you hide in the pipe and leave after the correct length of pull is set.

There's a reasonably common mechanism with an eye bolt through some bushings to set tension, depicted below (hopefully).
