What timber for decking ledgers, joists, noggins etc?

Why not move to 500mm spacing? If you are using thick-ish decking it should be fine.
 
right, almost ready to get my purchase on, all measured out etc etc.

My question, while many places don't offer this, i can buy 6m lengths of timber, but its expensive.. so i'm not going to and use a default size i can cut where I need myself and join them where required, but what is the 'default' size, is it a 4.8, 3m or? Or does this question completely depend on the company selling it? I was just wondering if there is an 'industry standard' size that will likely be cheaper to purchase as its not especially cut.
 
For me, they did 5.4m, but it will likely vary by merchant
 
Length depends on your vendor. The mill I buy from has their own pressure vessel for treating timber - and that has an internal length just long enough to take 5.7 metre timber. So they do anything up to 5.7 metres and nothing longetr
