If the smith is all you have use the smith but it's not to hard to build your own squat rack for less that $50.

I saw a thread where a guy built a squat rack for 14 dollars. Looked really crude, but held 480ish lbs I think? Over 400.

That's all we have at our gym. I wished he had a squat rack or another smith. Kind of sucks when one guy is benching through your entire leg day and you miss the main exercise that you wanted in the first place.
