There is nothing wrong with this, but someone tested methods of reducing damage from tank failure (I think it was last year, you should be able to find it on Chief Delphi by searching) and the results showed that it was actually quite difficult to contain. I doubt netting, unless it was made from steel and secured well, would actually do too much in the event of a catastrophic tank failure. In other words, don't rely on such 'containment' schemes to protect you. Protecting the tanks themselves is usually much more effective.
