Mine look just like this! I used the same vinyl flooring on top of the plywood that I used over the floor and up the walls. I use sand and PDZ on the boards and sift out the poop with a litter box scoop.It depends on what your calling laminate. A picture would help.
My board itself is 1/4" underlayment, but it is covered with vinyl. The underlayment is nailed down to a 2 x 4 frame, then I covered it with vinyl. I used 1 x 2's to hold the vinyl down. I nailed 1 x 4's to the outside of the frame(raised up) to make a tray.

This is the underside of the poop board. The frame sits on 2 x 4's along the back wall and 2 x 4's on the sides

You can see how the 1 x 4 is raised up when I attached it to the 2 x 4 to make the tray. I could have used a 1 x 6 and made it even with the bottom of the 2 x 4, but didn't.
I lift the roost bar up when I scoop the poop, that's why it's on an angle.

I have 2 bins about 6' x 6' made out of pallets, to keep the dogs out of it. I don't have any pictures. All the poop goes in there. I add leaves(I always have leaves), kitchen and garden scraps not suitable for the chickens, coffee grounds, tea bags, some of the egg shells and some of the coop bedding when I clean it out. Most of the bedding goes in my deep litter run, which is basically composting also.
I'm afraid my compost pile is not very well organized -- it's just a big pile of whatever comes out of the garden, coop and kitchen!
