Stick framing
In modern, wood construction sills usually come in sizes of 2×4, 2×6, 2×8, and 2×10. In stick framing (construction) the sill is made of treated lumber and are anchored to the foundation wall, often with J-bolts to keep the building from coming off the foundation during a severe storm or earthquake. Building codes require the bottom of the sill plate is kept 6 to 8 inches above the finished grade. This is a building code requirement to hinder termites and prevent the sill plate from rotting.
