If you can get four big rocks, computers, or other weights and two flat
(possibly weighted) plates, you could set up the net like the below (top
down view):

O             net            O  <- rock
 \             |            /
  \            v           /  <- rope from rock on ground to top of net support
   \ _                  _ /
    | |----------------| |  <- flat plate with net support pole coming out of its normal
   / -                  - \
  /                        \
 /                          \
O                            O

I can lend some rope.
