cleating
Tying to post
Cleating is the act of securing something with cleats—hardware pieces used to fasten ropes, cables, or other materials.
In nautical contexts, cleating means wrapping a line around a cleat to hold it fast: After docking, she finished cleating the bowline.
In construction, cleating refers to attaching cleats as supports or reinforcements.
