The Bowline is great for putting a loop in the end of a rope, but no use for tying off an end. If you're going to tie something down and you want to pull the rope tight, yet still be able to release easily I always use a combination of slip knots. I'm not sure what it's called but pull the rope tightish then put a slip knot in the rope about two feet from where you are going to fasten it to, then pass the lose end around the ring/securing point and back through the loop created by the slip knot. You can then pull back on the lose end giving you a two to one reduction to pull the rope really tight, and when it's tight enough do another slip know around the body of the rope. For safety I then do a half hitch with the second slip loop around the line to stop it flapping around and working lose. To undo you just untie this half hitch and pull the lose end.

Double dolly knot and stand on the second loop with your foot,that holds anything and if not happy add a third dolly.
It works like a pulley and the more dollies you add the more pressure you exert
Finish off with a half hitch.
To undo it release the half hitch and pull the loose end,the whole lot just comes undone.
