Said he's depending on getting a shed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hangar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shed' is the definition.
(both can mean a storage area)

'said he's depending on getting a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
'he' could be 'gar' and 'gar' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'h' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hangar that I've seen before include "Large building to house aircraft" , "Airport shed" , "Where aircraft may be" , "Large building for housing aircraft" , "Airport building" .)
