The knot commonly used to tie a fender onto the side of a boat to protect it from other boats and docks is called a "round turn and two half hitches." It is a simple and effective knot that provides a secure attachment for the fender.

Here's how you tie a fender knot:
1. Start by passing the line's working end (rope) around a secure point on the boat, such as a cleat or railing.
2. Take the line's working end and make a loop around the standing part (the part of the line connected to the fender).
3. Pass the line's working end through the loop you just created.
4. Bring the line's working end around and make another loop around the standing part, similar to the first loop.
5. Pass the working end of the line through the second loop.
6. Tighten the knot by simultaneously pulling on the working end and the standing part.
This knot will create a secure attachment for the fender, allowing it to protect the boat's side from impacts with other boats or docks.
You can adjust the fender's height and position for optimal protection according to your specific docking situation.
