sorry, this is entirely wrong.
the OP sytax was correct.
he's stumbling over a parser limitation (actually, it's the lexer) 
that treats / special too early. we've not come up with a good idea 
how to fix that over all the time pf exists - perhaps we do soon, 
perhaps not.
there's an ugly workaround:
neta='"1.2.3.4/24'"
netb='"9.8.7.6/24'"
nets="{" $neta $netb "}"

note the strange quoting in neta and netb.
