A solid, relatively elongate cushioning element is provided that is able to be distally guided and positioned relative to a feature on a structure that will be impinged by a ladder. The cushioning element is carried by an upper rung or structural element on the ladder where it can be raised by a painter on the ground and even on the ladder, so that the cushioning element may be properly fixed against the feature. The cushioning element preferably has a shape to it that fits or mates or covers the feature and doesn't merely rest against it. The fit provides greater protection for the feature and greater stability for the ladder. The cushioning element maintains its position by the force of the ladder against it, pressing it against the feature or areas of the structure surrounding the feature.
