What works very well is a golf ball retriever. They are made from
aluminum and used for retrieving golf balls from water hazards. It will
extend to  3.5 to 5 meters depending on the model but it will retract to
about one meter. To extend it just requires a simple twist of the rod to
unlock it. Then it can be extended to your desired length, twist it back
and it will lock into place. When done with the extension it will slide
back into it's manageable 1 meter length handle. They come equipped with
a contraption at the end that will grab golf balls. It can easily be
removed and the tines of your net can be place into the opening and then
hammered or taped shut. The metal handle will also serve as a deterrent
to snakes, dogs or any others not happy with your pursuit of enjoyment. 
Do not take my word for it. Just go to a golf shop, about the
retrievers, and look at it. Once you see it everything will all fall
into place and you will see how it could be adapted to your needs. It
should be less than $20 US
