Oakenden, a highly successful kennel run manufacturer and partner of Bridledene Ltd, was established in 1989 and since then we have sold well over 30,000 galvanised steel kennel panels.

We pride ourselves on providing our customers with the highest quality kennel runs, dog pens and pet housing at the best prices available. All our hot dip galvanised steelwork is processed to British Standard No. 729 and will last you a lifetime.

Penylan Country Lodge, Llanvaches, MonmouthshireAround 45% of our orders come from previous clients and we have built up a large and varied base of well-satisfied customers, including Battersea Dogs Home and Guide Dogs for the Blind, as well as various Police Stations, Prisons, Boarding Kennels, Breeders and Pet Owners.

Although you may imagine that all kennel run manufacturers supply very similar products this is not the case. If you look closely at the information given by different manufacturers you will see that many miss out vital information, such as which type of gate bolt is fitted – an indication of the level of quality. We supply gates with fully welded and padlockable sliding bolts – no pop rivets, nuts or bolts – and we provide you with all the information you need to make the right choice of kennel.

If you would like any further details about any of our products please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.

A centre gated panel may be preferable when fixing in an inward opening gate to brickwork. This is available at a small extra cost.

Slopping Dividing Kennel Panels: Panels can be fabricated with sloping tops to accommodate roof sheeting or sloping bottoms to accommodate sloping centre bases whilst staying flush to the kennel wall. Holes can be drilled as an option in the top of the frame to fix roof perling. Galvanized angle iron perlings can be supplied.
