I notice that the barrels on both sides are threaded. The answer is a long nut with RH threads on one end and LH threads on the other with matching threads on the barrels. This is how a turnbuckle works is everyday life. Turn it one way it tightens, whatever is hooked to the ends and the other way it loosens.
