Thanks Phat. I made a rack but it’s a lot more complicated and labor intensive.  Yours is really a good design.  I was going to suggest a board for the buts to rest on that would keep them up out of the dirt on the floor and suggest holding it up enough to sweep under it, but you have to consider rod length.  The ceiling in my storeroom is low enough that some rod tips are bent and I need to break down all sectional rods.  I’ll make a ceiling rack like yours - great idea. 
 
Your system would probably also work for a ceiling rack in a pickup canopy or SUV.
