The garden gate won't help you much. My garden fortress is weak in all areas. Rabbits and groundhogs don't have any trouble getting in. I did not use a sill at my garden gate but I did under a gate for the dog pen to keep the dogs from digging out. This is a photo I found of that dog pen gate. Maybe it will help. For yours I'd probably raise it a bit so your gate bumps up against it to really minimize that gap.

All you need is a bit of chicken wire to keep out the veggie eaters.

Cat, that's to my dog pen, not the garden. The garden would take a lot more than a little chicken wire. My garden fence is to keep deer and dogs out, it works for that.
Mine is for the same thing, Keep our 4 dogs out the german shepard we have keep the deer out and protect my chickens
and 3 outside cats.
