Abstract
A method to horizontally support substantially parallel railed ladder (3) with box (4) against vertical surface (17), with ladder footed (5) on horizontal ground (6). Box substantially has front side (32) open, facing ladder. Ladder top end (2) supports against box uppermost portions (36), ladder lower upper portion (94) supports against box bottom wall front portions (13), and box back side (11b) supports substantially flat against the vertical surface. Box top wall (10) and bottom wall (12) are both substantially perpendicular to the box back side. Ladder leans at a substantial angle, substantially at 4-up-to-to-1-out angle (U to O angle). Box on ladder can: provide two platforms to place supplies laddertop; distance ladder from the vertical surface; and improve ladder utility and user safety.

A method of horizontally supporting a ladder with a box together against a substantially vertical surface, comprising the steps of:
- Mating front-most top portion of a box with top end of a ladder;
- footing the ladder on horizontal ground, leaning the ladder towards a vertical surface, and then, with ladder leaned at a substantial angle, horizontally supporting the top end against the box, horizontally supporting back side of the box substantially flat against the vertical surface, and horizontally supporting lower upper portion of the ladder against bottom wall front portion of the box.
A method of horizontally supporting a substantially parallel-railed ladder with a box together against a substantially vertical surface, comprising the steps of:
- mating top end of a ladder with front-most top portion of a box;
- footing the ladder on horizontal ground, leaning the ladder towards a vertical surface, and then, with ladder leaned at a substantial angle, horizontally supporting back side of the box substantially flat against the vertical surface, horizontally supporting the top end against the box, and horizontally supporting lower upper portion of the ladder against bottom wall front portion of the box, such that the box holds the ladder top at a substantial distance away from the vertical surface on which the ladder is leaned.
