  Droplets with different Weber numbers We impacting meshes at various
inclination angles were investigated using high-speed photography. It was found
that the droplet mesh penetration can be completely suppressed by inclining the
mesh. The phase diagrams in the (We, {\alpha}) plane determining the expected
type of penetration have been determined experimentally for meshes of various
structures. It was shown that the Weber numbers for transition between
no-penetration and incomplete penetration as well as for transition between
incomplete penetration and complete penetration increase monotonically with
{\alpha}. A simple model for predicting the transition thresholds is proposed
and is validated by comparisons with experimental results. It is shown that
both the inclination angle and the mesh open area fraction determine the type
of penetration.
