Just to let you know.
I tried the ST_CONCAVE as Jukka suggested and it works great.
Here's my code:
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -oo X_POSSIBLE_NAMES=X -oo Y_POSSIBLE_NAMES=Y
-a_srs "EPSG:28992" \
-dialect SQLite -sql "select
ST_Buffer(ST_ConcaveHull(ST_Collect(geometry),2.5,1), 2.5) from 'MyData'" \
"MyData-border.shp" "MyData.csv"
Thanks,
Paul
