Second the square/box tubing, much stronger since the force should be 
mostly downward.  For the slider you could also use a section of the 
slightly larger square tubing with a hook/eye welded to it.  I don't 
think the final bend at the end is needed; that's only if you want the 
log to remain hanging when not in motion.
