Abstract
A set of pads, such as rubber pads, can be used with an extension ladder to reduce slipping and prevent damage to the structure on which it is placed. The rubber pads can be attached to the side rails of the extension ladder at a predetermined height. When the ladder is placed against an eave or gutter of the structure, the rubber pads provide a slip resistant protective barrier.
Claims8
An extension ladder slip and damage reduction pad, comprising:
- a pad body;
- a first strap disposed through first and second strap slots disposed proximate to a first end of the pad body;
- a second strap disposed through third and fourth strap slots disposed proximate to a second, opposite end of the pad body;
- and
- attachment mechanisms disposed to adjustably attach ends of the first strap together and to adjustably attach ends of the second strap together.

3 more elements
A method for reducing slippage of a ladder placed against a structure, the method comprising:
- attaching pads to a portion of rails of an extension ladder, the pads having a pad body, a first strap disposed through first and second strap slots disposed proximate to a first end of the pad body, a second strap disposed through third and fourth strap slots disposed proximate to a second, opposite end of the pad body, and attachment mechanisms disposed to adjustably attach ends of the first strap together and to adjustably attach ends of the second strap together;
- and
- placing the extension ladder against the structure so that the pads are disposed between the extension ladder and the structure.
