Thanks for all your replies, not quite there but got some ideas.

You could use convex or concav envelop.
You can also union the geometries (eventually simplifying by neg buffer
then pos buffer)
That's if you want precise boundary.
If you just need bbox ...

Hello,
On my side, I often use
st_buildarea(st_exteriorring((st_dump(geom)).geom)). And if I want to
keep
a single object for the original one, I union or collect them regarding
their gid.

Subject: Re: [postgis-users] Getting boundary of set of polygons
St_MakePolygon does not take a multilinestring.
ST_BuildArea looked possible, but it gives me back lots of little areas
and not a single boundary for the whole set.
It looks as though ST_Dump with ST_MakePolygon may be useful but am
still
trying to get the right form something like
ST_MakePolygon( ST_DUMP( ST_BOUNDARY( ST_COLLECT( wkb_boundary ) )
.geom )
But it does not like the .geom bit.
Any suggestions?
