I've searched and read quite a bit on using these to keep cool in summer and warm in winter, but nothing as to how to attach them. Do you have use a ladder or do you put them on before you push out the ends and how do get them to stay on?

We do not use the emergency blanket, we use the refectix, which we put grommets in the corners and attach with bungees.  We also use the binder clips that you find at work for along the edges.

If you are using the thins emergency blanet to cover your bunk ends I would reinforce the edges and simply clip every 6-10 inches, depending on wind.  They clip quite easily to the seams along the sides.

I also use two people to get them on, after the bunk is up and in place.  In our case, we attach two of the bungees and walk into place and then hook down on the roof latches on one end and under the bunk end on the other.

Visit this URL.  I've had the same Pop Up Gizmos bunk end covers for 5 years.  http://www.popupgizmos.com/bunkcoverpage.htm

Welcome to PUT!:)
 
You attach the covers with clips.  If you get the Pop Up Gizmo's high wind version they attach with clips and bungi cord.:)
