Its a variation on the use of a fender board. A fender board is a board with lines on each end. You hang a fore and aft fenders, and then drop the fender board across the fenders. That way the fender board contacts the pilings, or a sea wall made out of corrugated caisson steel. GLP is suggesting that if you are in a slip where there are pilings, to hang a board between them.

Thanks for the clarification.
I back my boat into my slip and my bow cleats are about 6' ahead of two pilings (of course the pilings are totally in line with my side cleats) and my aft goes to the bulkhead.
I am between a 27' Sundancer with a pulpit and a 20' Sea Dory. It' s a horror with a single Bravo1 to back in on a windy day -- even with an extra set or two of hands from my teenage daughters -- as my bow seems inevitably attracted to that damn pulpit.
It's even worse if I have the camper up........
