I'm having trouble finding a relatively cheap set of squat stands for a 5ft bar. Most I have found are either too big or too expensive so if anyone knows of a set for a reasonable price i'd appreciate it
What's your budget?
This looks OK if you just want stands - but here's no safety device on that and only goes up to 150kg.

Unfortunately my bar is too short for that one but that is about the price I am prepared to pay though.
I have been looking at these

Not sure if they will be suitable for a 5ft bar or not though yet.

Since they're independently positionable I can't see a reason why they wouldn't be suitable for a 5' bar. Might it be worth considering getting a longer bar if you can't find suitable racks?

Those will work with a 5ft bar fine seeing as they're seperate - but only support up to 115kg 
would this be enough for you?

Yeah, I expect they will be enough for me for at least a year yet and probably more. I've only been using the gym in my work unit for a few weeks and I'm nowhere near 115kg yet.
I probably will get larger equipment when I have more space but for now the smaller and cheaper the better.
