What the best way to secure this net around the edges?

Title correction: ***What's

I have this setup outside my greenhouse for my brassicas, etc. (I know it's summer but I live in a cold place, and I'm new to gardening so this is experimental). I see advice to secure the edges of the net using logs or rocks, but that's obviously for nets that reach the ground, and mine doesn't.

I bought some strong clips from a local hardware store, but they only had 7 in stock, and after clipping the net down along the edges of the bed I feel like each side needs at least 4 clips to be even kind of effective. And still, it didn't seem to work very well as there's still plenty of gaps for bugs to crawl through.

I don't necessarily want a solution like "use 20 clips on each side" because I don't want it to take me ~5+ minutes every time I want to secure and remove the net so I can work with the plants. I was thinking maybe I can try pool noodles next? Does anyone else have experience with this or any ideas?
