You won't be able to secure those panels to each other as in a single-wall cage. However, you could line the inside of a wood frame with it, securing the panels to either a solid wood panel or to studs, as in house framing.
Even though those panels are said to be 50% less weight per square foot than other mason-type panels, a cage built with them will be heavy.
Have a good one!

Interesting idea, but IMO you'd need a support frame like HappyHillbilly stated, and there are better alternatives if you are going to that level of building.
For example, a wood frame and expanded PVC panels or hollow-core PVC panels would be a better alternative in that you would have complete moisture resistance on the panels and not need to paint or seal anything but the seams (seal with caulk).
BTW, I like the water-based acrylic caulk over silicon these days. Even though silicon is tougher, the acrylic is easily replaced when needed and super easy to work with and clean up. But silicon is good too if you want. Certainly more water-resistant.
