As far as discipline is concerned, just remember that bunnies are not like cats or dogs. The do NOT understand at all negative feedback, like yelling or say no or being locked up when they misbehave. That could just undermine the trust between you and the bunny. Instead they do understand positive reinforcement, thus to “discipline” it is best to build positive associations and redirect their behavior to thing that are allowed in a way that makes them want to do the good things, vs not want to do the bad things for fear of being punished...See here http://bunnyproof.com/living-with-a-house-rabbit/how-to-discipline-your-house-rabbit.

You need to get a more secure gate in your case. Bunnies are curious naturally and they won't to explore... like you cannot not stop a dog or child (unless you get them both to the point where they are just terrified of you overall) you won't be able to stop a bunny. Btw plastic is really bad for them to chew on also... so get a better baby gate that can be anchored to the wall with either tension on screws so he can't get through. You can also glue/secure some sturdy cardboard to the inside of the gate you have so he doesn't chew the plastic.

Now when he starts trying to chew and get through anyways, this is were you redirect! You offer him a toy or a chew that he likes instead and when he does take it you give him a little treat or a piece of favorite green as a reward. You do this many times to reinforce that chewing on things that are allowed is good and results in yummies. Of course you need to make sure he has enough things around to actually keep him from getting bored and wanting to chew on stuff he should not... toys and things to stimulate his mind - they are smart and do get bored.

Bunny won’t stop chewing everything, what to do:

What might help is a few things:

1. Positive reinforcement - trying to reward good habits with treats and redirect bad behavior like chewing on furniture to good behavior like chewing on a chew toy with a treat to build positive associations with good behavior. So every time you seem him try to chew or dig on something he should not, don't lock him up, but right away offer him a toy or thing that he can chew or dig on... then reward him with a tiny piece of treat.
   
2. This brings me to my next point, purchase or make some alternatives for him to chew, dig, keep him entertained and occupied. A bored bunny will usually chew... There are tones of ideas which you can search the internet for and some I like are below, But the point I am trying to get across is that you need to make a bit of an effort to see what toys he likes and get.make him things to keep him occupied and entertained
   
   1. try to make him a dig box - use any box and fill it with shredded paper and see if he likes it - usually they do. you can also purchase some of those soft plastic balls like for kids and fill the box and he might like that too. experiment, but give him an alternative to dig
