People use cables or ropes to guide long poles or similar structures into position and then tie them down for stability. Cranes of are of course easier, but not always available such as when replacing a sailing ships mast at sea.
Guy wires are often used similarly if for example wind loads are an issue during construction their tension need to be adjusted appropriately.
