1. A system for supporting a fabric covering, the system comprising:
a first roller clutch assembly rotatable about an axis;
a first housing assembly configured to support the first roller clutch assembly;
a bracket configured to be removably coupled within a first portion of the first housing assembly and configured to support the first housing assembly on an external structure; and
a joining member configured to be removably coupled within a second portion of the first housing assembly, a portion of the joining member is received in an opening in the first housing assembly along a first direction perpendicular to the axis, the portion overlapping with a rotatable element of the roller clutch assembly along the axis when viewed from a second direction perpendicular to the axis and intersecting the joining member, the joining member having a proximal end spaced apart from a distal end along a first joining member axis, the joining member symmetric about the first joining member axis, the joining member having a second joining member axis transverse to the first joining member axis, the second joining member axis located intermediate the proximal end and the distal end, the joining member symmetric about the second joining member axis.
