    Quantity of outlets for 20x20 shop

    So I will be running 100a service out to my workshop that is 20x20, I will have separate circuits for the heater, the air compressor, and a 220v for my welder. But I was thinking 3-4 15a outlets per the 3 walls, and 2 on the wall with the door. Does this sound about right?
