What I have used is a couple of pieces of carpet scraps. One front and one
rear.
The ladder should be tied down securely so that it cannot move in any
direction.

Hello:

Have the problem of transporting a typical 20 ft. Werner extension ladder.

Only have a car (Buick LeSabre) and it's probably a bit much to just hang
out of the trunk.

I can try the ski carriers that I still have from years ago and see if
they will
fit on the Buick, but was wondering if anyone has any other clever ideas
on what to do ?

I remember they used to make heavy foam blocks to place on a canoes
gunwales, so the canoe
copuld easily be carried upside down on the roof of a car without maring
the paint (tied down, of course).

Is there anything like this available for carrying a ladder, perhaps ?

Any other thoughts on ?

Thanks,
Bob
