Reasonable to build deck first then cover later?

I live in delaware near the bay and the mosquitoes just suck in the summer. I want to build a covered deck but dont have the scratch at the moment. My question is, would it be reasonable to build a flat deck and then attach a screen covering to it down the road? Also, I have a entrance to the crawlspace under where I will be building. Intial calculations seem it will be able to get to the enterance just fine by slipping under the deck. Are there any pitfalls of this I'm not thinking of?
