Abstract: A ladder brace assembly includes a U-shaped frame member having a base plate and a raised collar section positioned about a portion of an inner periphery thereof. The base plate includes, in a preferred embodiment, four holes for receiving screws, nails, pins, stakes, or other attachment means, which may be used to secure the brace assembly to a surface. Once the pair of ladder braces are in place, the shoes of the ladder may be placed within the U-shaped frames, so that the ladder shoes but up against the raised collar sections, thus preventing the ladder from sliding along the ground while the ladder is in use.
